Reloading pulled bullets

[R81]

I have some pulled 9mm Brazos 125 grain bullets. I would be interested to hear opinions on
when you reload coated bullets that have been pulled. Should they only be plinking rounds?
Does the groove mark in the bullets affect accuracy much? If some of the coating is completely
gone, is it better to not reload them? Thanks.

If they were going in a precision rifle for a match I'd say no but considering what they are, I'd load them. Doubt you or your barrel will know the difference.

Doesn't matter. Load them, gauge them, shoot them. People get waaaaaay too uptight about 9mm accuracy.

If it fits, it ships.

The only drawback I see with coated bullets is that if the coating is gone on surfaces that will engage the rifling of the barrel, you may get some leading of the barrel. I don't reuse pulled coated bullets personally, I just remelt them into the casting pot and make new ones and coat them as I normally would. This will eliminate any leading. I do load pulled jacketed bullets and don't worry about the groove or scratches from being pulled.
