Can Reuse Components After Bullet Puller?

[internetguy]

Reloading newbie here, new Dillon 550. Been shooting for a zillion years, etc, etc.

Question: can I reuse the components after pulling the round apart with a bullet puller? All the pieces check out to the eye.

Thoughts from you gurus?

Many thanks for the expertise and your patience with a newb.

Best-

Neil.

Depending on your crimp, lead bullets will be undersized the next time around. If you are running light crimp, you should be ok. I reuse what I pull.

I reuse but only as practice ammo.

Ditto. Screwed up rounds go in a a big yogurt container. When I'm desperate I take apart the rounds to salvage and make practice ammo.

I reuse them, but make sure in goes in my practice ammo boxes.

Everything but the powder. I have a large coffee can I keep rejects in. On cold wet days, I'll sit down and disassemble bullets and sort components.
