Sorry, I've been busy for a while, but an update on the headspace issue I was having. I ordered the competition shellholder from Midway, and it worked like a charm. Now I can get the head to fit flush or just barely below flush on the Wilson gauge. Thanks to all who chimed in...especially HiBC for the tip about the shellholders. Thanks pal.

That being said...I have pulled the bullets and removed the powder from about 15 cartriges. Is it safe to resize with the primers still inserted, or is it best to remove them? And if so, can they safely be removed by simply depriming?
