Reloading .223 for an AR15.
So I have close to 100 loaded cartridges that won't chamber due to headspace problems. I've since adjusted my RCBS X-die to proper sizing, but what to do with those previously loaded carts? These days 100 primers are too precious to waste if I can still make use of them.
1. After I pull the bullets and the powder, can I decap and resize the cases and then re-use the primers?
or
2. Should I remove the decapping pin and re-size the cases with the primers intact? This is an X-die, if that makes a difference. This option seems to make the most sense.
