Brass prep after pulling bullet on a loaded round

[Swamppy]

Alright guys and gals need an opinion on what to do after pulling bullets on a loaded round.

In a hurry I loaded a bunch of rounds for a match in virgin brass. I did not have time to mandrel them and set neck tension consistent and they shot all over the place. My scope went down early in the 2 day event so now I have 130 rounds that I need to pull. Just wanted some opinions on what I should do next before loading the new rounds.

Should I resize the neck to get my neck tension back?
Should I anneal and resize the neck to get my neck tension back?
Should I just reload it and fire it?
Other?

I just reload so I don’t have to punch primers etc to anneal and lube and size. I only ever have to do a couple at a time so I’ve never really noticed a considerable difference.
If I had 130 I would just put them down range practicing and start again with your formed brass. No guarantee working the virgin will being it back anyways.

I resize the neck then reload. Never noticed a problem when I've had to do it.

i just resized, then ran a mandrel through it.

Remove decapping pin and run through sizer (and mandrel if you use one). Then powder and seat.

That will get you as close to normal as possible.

You can also just powder and seat. Neck tension will be a little different. If it’s a match that cost a bunch of money and time, I’d run through sizer. If just a club match or practice, just load and go.
