Its been a while since I loaded some of my 9mm so last night I ran a 100 rounds thru the Lee single stage.
This evening I looked at my ammo box label again. ... 4.1 gr of Unique behind 147 gr Berrys plated.
Hmmm something ain't right my mind says......recheck my powder measure....it's throwing what I set it at.
4.7 gr! !
I was wearing my seldom worn work bi focal safety glasses and had mistaken 4.1 for 4.7.

Jeez I feel foolish.

I'm on the way to pulling the 147's........ I'm thinking empty powder, pull primers, bell the case mouth, reprime and reload with correct grains this time.
Any other suggestions?

I dont see any need to pull primers, Ive done the exact same mistake.
I would just pull bullets, add powder, bullet, seat and crimp

you can pull the decapping pin out of the sizing die and resize if you need to
