Ugg, bullet pulling

[dlbleak]

Can you show a photo of that? I am not seeing it in my head. Are you just twising them out with the pliers? Or leveraging them somehow on something?

@chazroh you gotta get a hornady collet puller man. I have one just don't have any collets that big. I almost ordered some from BPS a couple weeks ago with a gift cert I had. I seen @Cowcatcher use the hammer once. I decided right then. I got have me a collet puller.

Thanks @DRC458 and @dlbleak I wasn't seeing it in my head because at least with my press a pistol round is to short to make it above the top of the press. With rifle rounds it makes sense like the photo.

If your feeling lazy and don’t want to drive to harbor freight, order a set of these pullers. Already sized for standard rifle calibers from .17 to .30. Pistol caliber pullers are also available.
Go to their website and watch the video of them in action.

GRIP-N-PULL method? There is a joke in there somewhere. [emoji4]

Works quite nicely. You just need a set of pliers drilled for the proper diameter of each bullet you're going to pull.

Hmmm... might be able to drill a couple (or more?) different diameters in one pair.

Just a thought.

Yep,spaced right and you can get three in there. If it’s a big caliber like 44-45, you lose grip strength though. I file the edges of the hole down so the bullet is only being grabbed by the rounded part of the hole. If I don’t do the filing, the sharp edge leaves a mark

Yeah, it sucks with the hammer. Get one of the Hornady collet pullers for a job that size.
$3.99 long needle nose pliers from Harbor Freight. Drill the appropriate size hole using a drill press. Use the shell holder in a single stage press. You’d be surprised how easy it comes out when you pull the ram down.

Thats a good idea.

Just out of curiosity, why do you guys pull so many bullets?

Well,Robert,I’m a sucky reloader. Nuff said. Sometimes I’ll get a accuracy load together and think I’m done but change my mind and take it a little further. I’ve also bought Ammo from estate sales or garage sales for the components and break them down

Put larger calibers nearest the joint where ya have the most leverage.
