I did pull the loads down and threw away the powder. It was always my intention, just wanted to see what others would do.

Another thought, most of these pulled HARD! Impact puller on top of a steel safe made of 1/2" steel and 1" door around #500 of steel. Had to hit it hard and multiple times 10 to 20 blows most times pulling 220 gr cast bullets and half jackets. They had a good crimp, one half jacket came apart leaving the jacket in the case. SO could the lube have set up causing hard pulling, in effect gluing the bullet to the case? I know they have been setting in my basement for a year. I have never had bullets pull so hard before.
