pulling bullets

I borrowed a friends RCBS bullet puller, It warped the engineer section of my brain. You tighten the tension of the collet on bullet, When you put pull on the collet, You pull against the wedge effect of the collet. I love and have a shelf of RCBS dies, Used RCBS dies for over 50 years of loading.
I got a Hornady bullet puller, Works great, Easy to adjust and use, And as you pull on the bullet the collet actually tightens more as pull is applied to the collet. Makes the engineer section of my brain happy .

Dang it, I just ordered the RCBS tool.
 
So what would happen if you just adjusted the load and reseated the bullet? Poor accuracy?
I have done that with the inertia hammer. Pulled the bullets saved the powder. New powder in, seared the bullets then use lees factory crimp die. Worked well.
 
As some of you may have seen in my other post I recently had some very hot loads. I pulled my bullets from the cases and dumped the powder, should I resize the necks now or just put new powder and a new bullet on and go? I pulled the bullets by using some visegrips and my press if it matters.
Yep run it through the die again to put the neck back into the correct diameter
