Whats the best way to pull a bullet?

[Lofty]

Ive got about 100 rounds that I loaded up of 115 DTACS in my .243. I had loaded them for a match, pushed them a little hard but I had got no pressure signs during testing. It wasnt until I tried reloading the brass I did shoot from the match that I realized I was stretching the primer pockets a bit. When I would put a new primer in, about 1-3 or 4 cases, the primer just kind of slid in with no tension.

So whats the best way to pull all these DTACS without going through a big pain in the butt? Ive got one of those hammer style inertia pullers but thats a pain to do 100 rounds with.

I use, and really like the hornady collet puller.

If you set it properly, it gets a good grab on the bullet and won't leave a mark.

Way WAY better than an inertial puller when you've got a bunch to pull down.

Good advice. Got the same puller.

Cool, I'll check it out, thanks.

Hornady collet type puller is the best one I've come across. Properly setup, leaves no pull marks & bullets fly just as straight as virgins.

I just received my Forster collet puller this week and, like all things Forster, it is build like a tank!! Pretty easy set up and works well.

Kinetic types just don't hold up very well.

Another for the Hornady.

The impulse types are good for onsey twosey SNAFUs. They are inexpensive. I have used a couple that don't like magnum cases also. If you have several, it's best to use the Hornady cam lock bullet puller. The downside is that you have to purchase a collet for every caliber you want to pull in addition to the puller.

Check out a new product that just came out. It is called the Grip-n-pull. I just bought one at a gun show over the weekend. Works amazing, better than either collet or inertia puller and faster too without hurting the bullet. Go to you tube and type in grip n pull and you can see a demonstration.

I have been watching for a deal on a used press-mounted puller and figured I'd try something. I put a loaded round that I seated too deep in my press, raised the ram, then gripped the bullet with a large pair of channel-locks with rubber jaw covers (from Sears I think, they should still make them). Lower the ram, works like a charm. I did 4, I will try it on some old 223 that needs pulled down, that may show me the need for a real puller
