I just got a reloader for Christmas and was just trying it out.
Reloaded 15 rounds for my 642 .38 spl+p. I mis-setup my seating die. My recipe is Hodgdon universal, 4.7 grains with Hornady XTP 125 gr bullet. Nestled into new starline brass. C.O.L should be 1.455. The 15 rounds I made are 1.425.
Question is, pull and reset, or not?
Wasn't sure if this is detrimental in this revolver or not.
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you haven't done so yet please purchase at least one good manual with a full set of tutorial chapters in the front and read them. Lyman, Lee, Hornady, others...I've been reloading a long time and still find the informational part of loading manuals very helpful. Online info and how to videos are good, but the how to sections of loading manuals are written by real experts and cover the hobby well.
Make sure you are understanding what you are involving yourself in before you pull the trigger. If you don't understand something stop and ask.
That load you are working on can be a little anemic and inconsistent. Universal powder likes higher pressures in my experience. When you are testing make sure the bullet has exited the barrel before firing another shot.
Have fun but play smart.
