Bullet puller suggestions

[Rez Exelon]

This^^^. I just go a little slow. Never had one pop.

The only time I've had primers explode was using my Lee Auto Bench Prime. Something went wrong and I had about 5-10 explode and the rest scatter across the whole garage. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of that contraption. I've popped hundred and hundreds of rounds the same was as Mouthpiece in a press with a universal decap and never had any issues when popping them out, or when reusing them.

I pulled down 70 rounds of 7.65 Argentine this morning using the kinetic hammer, powder everywhere.
Pulling the bullets and primers out and trashing the brass.

Heck, I might pull them for you if I can keep the powder and primers!! Just kidding. Maybe.

lol - I bought a bazillion surplus 8x57 about 15 years ago. Pulled all the bullets to reload with non-corrosive components. Gets old fast. I think I gave about 5-6 cents a round for that stuff.

I picked up the RCBS puller and it seems to work great. When I got it there was a $50 mail in rebate, so between the purchase of that and all the collets I needed I got it about half price. Seems to work fairly well --- much quieter and wife pleasing than the kinetic route. When used in my Lee presses where it's got the quick change bushings, then it's not quite as solid as if I schlep it into a dedicated press without the quick change though.

Have you used the RCBS on lead bullets? Thanks.

To date I only had the occasion to try that once on a 500S&W and it didn't go super. Problem in that case was that I didn't have the thing configured right though. I haven't tried on anything lead since then....

Yep. This is how I do it too. Just be smart about it. A good idea would be to wear glasses and maybe some ear protection. Types little suckers are LOUD. In my old shop I had a sheet steel topped propane heater in the winter. If someone was out there I’d set a primer on top and a couple seconds later ‘bang!
Funny to see how jumpy some people get. There are quite a few dimples in the top from those little loose primers

I had looked at this one but haven’t purchased it. It says it works on jacketed bullets better than cast. It also says you may need to break the crimp on crimped bullets to get them to pull. It is a good idea though and I may still try one.

A good idea would be to wear glasses and maybe eleven ear protection.

Wow, they must be loud if you have to wear that much hearing protection.

Well. Ya can’t be too safe these days. When double bagging it is not enough ya eleven-ty bag it!
