Default Brass Question

I have about 30 bullets that i loaded for my 30.06 that i want to pull. This is virgin Rem brass and i use a kinetic type hammer puller. Before loading these bullets i checked the oal which was ok then ran the expander ball in the neck to get out any dents and then deburred. It's been a while since i pulled any bullets and i honestly can't remember if i did anything to the brass before loading it again after i did. Man i must be getting old or something, been having way to many brain farts lately.
After i pull these bullets do i need to do anything to the brass or can i just load up more bullets? Looks like the bullets would be a little loose. Thanks! Mike

At this point, I resize the necks again. You can try a few to see if you have enough neck tension. If you were close to max brass OAL, you might have to trim after sizing again. Thats about it.

I pulled the bullets last night and then checked 10 of the cases for neck tension. Some felt ok and some didn't so i just went ahead and neck sized them all. OAL was fine so no triming was needed. Much thanks for the feedback. Mike
