First time I ever had to pull a quantity of them.
What a pain.

Anyways, they were 41 mags.
I'm wondering if I should pull the decap pin out of the sizing die and size and expand them again, or do you think they will be good as is?

Verify the case size with a case gauge or by measuring with a caliper. I would be surprised if the cases need resizing. You may need to flare the cases if the cartridges were crimped.

I have done the same thing, I did'nt have to resize at all just as engineer401 said to flare the case mouth again.

I've had to re-size because of bullet setback after pulling bullets

Thanks for the advice guys.
I'll just re bell the mouths and go on my way.

I would resize to get the proper friction fit between case and bullet. I don't think that you are going to be working the brass case all that much to reduce the case life it will just be your time.
