I have about 1500 rounds of loaded .22-.250 ammunition that has been once-fired (fireformed) and subsequently neck sized only for my brother's varmint rifle. We managed to shoot the barrel out before using all of the ammo and (of course) it will not chamber in his new Hart barrel.
I am considering full length resizing it--removing the expander/decapping assembly from the die and tumbling afterwards to remove the sizing lube. This is not an optimum solution, but at the same time, I do not relish breaking down that many rounds and reloading them again.
I have done this in the past with .223 rounds with no issues whatsoever, but not with a medium sized cartridge like a .22-.250.
What say you? Anyone do this and have good luck or am I stuck pulling them down?
