ran about 50, everything seems fine. They mic real well, seating is strong. Thanks for the insight and sorry for posting this when I could easily have done what I just did to find out the answer.

Generally you can treat processed brass as new brass, doesn't make any sense to process it twice. Not great for the brass' longevity either.
I didn't see what press the OP is running it on, but if you're running it on a 1050, if you leave the top swage bar in place, it will give you the expansion/bell you would want (yes, the dillon tool does put some bell on 223 case mouths), even if you have the bottom swage bar backed out.
I find most of the damage brass experiences in it's journey to your door occurs at the factory. With some types of brass that are perpetually thin (.44-40 comes to mind) you will find damaged case mouths from shipping, but .223 is pretty sturdy by comparison.
In my experience, any case mouth that would be too jacked up to take a bullet, would also be too jacked up to load. I just toss 'em and don't worry about it.
