Last week loaded about 100 rounds of 7MM, getting ready to set up for another round of loading and look at my notes and notice that last week I loaded 62 grains instead of 69 grains. I know I need to break down each of those wrong loads, my questions is do I need to resize each brass, basically do I just need to do a neck resize, take out the decapping pen for the primer. I have already resize all the brass before I started loading last week. I feel like an idiot, there was a 2 just above the grain set up and I think it got transpose. Need advise from all you expert loaders. Thanks Steve (chipper)
 
I've done that.

What I did was pull the bullet, redrop powder with the correct amount, seat bullet, and go shoot.
 
I would just run the decapping pin/expander ball up in the die high enough so the decapping pin won't pop the primer out and neck size. In fact I just got done doing that very thing, pulled some unfired bullets.
 
I'm learning that not resizing may affect accuracy.

I'll pay more attention to this and see if it affects my accuracy.
 
You gotta resize bro.... Sorry.

Neck tension!

+1 I've made that mistake and agree with Fotis, You'll get flyers and vertical stringing if you don't resize. A pain in the butt I know However, it'll make it so you don't make that mistake again! :lol:
 
If all you care about is burning powder, pull the trigger on the round as is. If you want some meaningful data, or you want to take game, resize.
 
What Doc said. If you're breaking in a barrel for instance who cares?
 
Thanks guys, I removed all the accubonds, save all the powder, took my full length sizing die and back the decapping so that it won't deprime and ran all the brass through, this evening I will start reloading and hopefully have good neck tension. This was all new hornady brass. Again I want to thank this website and the members for all the information that has been provided for the last couple of years. Have and safe and happy memorial day!!!
 
The only part of the brass that needs reworking is the neck so neck sizing will do it for you.

160 grain AccuBond, 69 grain H-1000, Hornady brass, 3.31 OaL, 215M Federal primer, 2960 FPS, all comes out of a Red Hawk Rifle, top of with a Lupy 4.5 X 15 LR MR4 with turrets from Lupy, she shoots under 3/4 MOA unless I screw up. Which seems like most of the time. Back to the neck sizing I think I will buy just a neck sizer and just to that since this is the only 7MM I have.
