Relax. Do what works.
Very often you'll find that many players pull out at the mouthpiece, barrel, middle joint, and bell. There are no rules for this. If you can manage playing in tune by pulling our wherever then do it! Now.... if you find yourself pulling everywhere and you are still sharp then perhaps you need a longer barrel, like a 67mm, which is very common for people required to play at 440. When I played in the Nashville Symphony, we played at 440... real 440, not just for the tuning note. Playing a regular set up was almost impossible. (this was before the Vandoren 13 series mouthpieces, so maybe those would've helped....)... Anyway, we all played 67 mm barrels on our horns while the principal played 68 on hers.
Bottom line is: do what works.
