No way would I try this, even with lubricant.

The clearance of a bullet seating die is a lot more.

How many rounds are involved? Why not just pull the bullets?


Not necessarily so. Many times I've used a Redding 308 Win. body to brush back shoulders of loaded 308 Win rounds. You should check for clearance and mine has plenty. MD's suggestion was for if there was a tight situation. Then you should use a die for a larger necked cartridge.
