    I recently bought Pulled SS109 off GB. For a Hell Of a Deal. But in the fine print it says the SS109 needs to be resized. Can I reload and shoot the SS109 with out resizing and will there be any repercussions ? Or is this a bad Idea ?

    Drag out the old micrometer and measure the little darlings and then you will have your answer. They may have created an out of round situation when they were pulled and need to be rounded.

    It would be a major PIA to resize .224 copper jacketed bullets, I am guessing they will load up just fine as they are.
    We are talking blasting ammo not target.

    The seller stated they NEED to be resized, I would tend to believe them. I would mic the diameter across several points to see how bad they are and then resize with a Lee bullet sizing die. Use plenty of lube. This was pretty common when I loaded 50 bmg. If it can be done with a 50 cal bullet you can do it with a .224 projectile.
