I messed up
Hello all good people, I'm all new to reloading, all brand new lee toys.
When I set my new lee powder scale up I set the adjustable poise to 1 grain, that was wrong, its to be .1 grain. I loaded 100 .357 mag shells and 100 30-06 shells with too much powder, now I need to knock the bullets out, resize the brass and start over, the question is can I reuse the bullets. I do have a bullet removal hammer.
thank you Kevin

RE: I messed up
Sure, you should be able to reload them. Don't feel bad, I once had my lee scale off 10 grains, as I had the ball bearing in the wrong spot.
If you post the recipe you used, somebody with quickload could give you an estimate of the pressure for the .30-06. It might not be to bad.
I have the RCBS collet bullet puller, and that works much better than the inertia type.

RE: I messed up
Yeah, I wasn't going to suggest using those, 1 grain in that size case makes a big difference.
I was just reading an article on the 17 fireball. Memory fails, but I think an overcharge of one grain would destroy the gun in that small case. It was a small amount.
I remember reading that a 5% increase in powder results in 40% increase in pressure. That is just a rule of thumb of course.
