I came across two rounds that wouldn't fit in my recently acquired 9mm Max cartridge guage. Are these junk or can they be sized in say a factory crimp die? Would they need to be pulled apart first?

They are FMJ. One the case stops near the halfway point of fitting in and the other only a small portion sticks up instead of seating into guage. Would the bullets need to be pulled before using the FCD or is it ok to do on a finished round?

I wouldn't pull them. I use my FCD on finished rounds all the time. It will work fine unless you notice you need way more force than usual. If so stop and pull the 2 rounds and chalk them up to worthless.

I'd run them through the FCD that's what it's for. The FCD should have a case sizing ring, my Lee does.
