If you pull the bullets all the way out, you will end up with a LOT less case-neck-tension than you started with. The neck expands when a bullet is seated, but does NOT spring all the way back, resulting in less case neck tension. It should still be enough to hold the bullet, BUT it won't be the same.

Just dump the powder, then remove the de-prime pin. OR adjust the decapper pin and stem up to where the pin no longer un-seats the primer.
