Hello,
After resizing some cases, I checked them out in my rifle and the bolt required some force to close down. Some of them require some force but close completely, and a few others just simply take too much force. I realized after that my lee die was not set properly and I needed to adjust it. Unfortunately, I primed some of those cases without knowing.
Would it be an issue if the bolt closes with some force? Should I reload those?
Also for the once that are hard to close, I was thinking of just loading them up and shooting the primer off without a powder charge or bullet to make them safe and reload them again after (to not waste my brass). Would that cause any issues to the rifle? I did some searching online, some were saying it was completely fine and others said that it might jam the bolt.
I don't want to decap them for safety reasons even though some of you might say it's completely fine and you've done it hundreds of times. I just don't want to take that risk.
Thanks!
