Can you reseat and recrimp loaded rounds?

We had some issues over the weekend, and we would like to run them through our 650 to reseat for OAL and recrimp.

Can this be done safely or did we just make 3,000 rounds of practice ammo?

Thanks

I had a bunch that were seated high and ran them back through with no problems. I was using a 550 and just the last two stations, as to the safety of this I leave that to you to decide.

shouldn't be an issue if you have sufficient case tension. the crimp station is really for just getting rid of the bell imparted during the powder drop and not to hold the bullet in. i don't reload revolver rounds so i wouldn't know but i think revolver bullets need a roll crimp.
an ideal "crimp" shouldn't leave any mark on the bullet when you pull the bullet apart.
