Looking forward to loading .38sp for the Wifes wheel gun and my .40 when I ever get it

Get a bullet puller and re do them.
I have a kinetic puller that works great, during setup changes (38/357) I often have to pull bullets and re use them.
Congradulations on joining th reloading club, it is damn near as much fun as shooting.

It is basically a hollow hammer that grabs the rim of the cartridge adn as you beat the hammer on a hard surface knocks the bullet out of the case. I have had some as deep as you are talking about and got them out.
Good Luck

Cardinal rule #1 is you NEVER, EVER shoot off rounds that you know are defective just to get the brass back. You broke Rule #1 with the first two rounds you loaded, and despite the fact that you knew they were f'ed up, you shot them anyway. REALLY, REALLY bad mistake!! What were you thinking??
It's a mistake you can get away with, but with a powder like Bullseye or a max load of Blue Dot, pressure seating the bullet all the way down on the powder could result in a big kaboom, and you were lucky you were shooting a 9mm. If you had reloaded you first 50 rounds of 40 S&W for a Glock and made that mistake, chances are you WOULD have gotten brass fragments in your face and a blown gun. Hell, if you screw up the crimp strength on a 40 S&W and the bullet seats deeper when it chambers the (unsupported) case head can blow.
