Sizing pulled bullets
Was told that pulled projectiles should be sized so they are not out of round. First time I've heard this-but that means squat.
How does one do it, and does it need to be done at all? Refernce was to .50 BMG projectiles.

You run them through a Ring die available from Corbin Manufacturing. This die will also resize Bullets. I have one in 9mm, with which I can resize .357 bullets to 9mm, giving me a greater selection of bullets to use in my .38 Super.
If you picked up a ring die in .308, you could also resize .311 bullets to .308.0 -
I bought some bullets on the auction side that are beyond resizing as they have gouges in the side running the length of the projectile through the cannelure. When loaded the gouge leaves a gap between the neck and the bullet on both sides. They were pulled with some type of plier type instrument and not an inertia puller which typically leave only drag marks from the cannelure down. If they were only egg shaped this would not be an issue and resizing would cure this problem. Look closely at the photos and you will see this. I did not, and am stuck with 40 pounds of junk. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=70203965

Is there any other company that makes a .510 bullet sizer. I've got a load of pulled bullets that may need to be sized quite a bit. 0
