Is it absolutely critical that machined pulled bullets be resized? I notice that most suppliers of pulled surplus bullets advertise theirs as being "polished and resized", but I just got a lot of .22 cal tracers from Wideners that I doubt, based on the dirty mess they are, have had anything done to them after being pulled. Would any be deformed so badly during pulling that shooting them as is (well, after cleaning them up, at least) would be dangerous, or just perhaps inaccurate?

Thanks,
Rocko
