Just curious: has anyone here ever successfully pulled bullets with the Forster press-mounted bullet puller and 9mm Luger shells?
I bought the puller a while back with a .357 collet. With the die bottomed out on the shell holder and the top screwed all the way down it never tightned on the bullet. It's not that it slipped off the bullet - it never even gripped it.
After reading through some literature I noticed that Forster listed the 357 collet as being for "Rifle cartridges" and listed 358 as being used for pistol. I bought that collet and same thing - it won't tighten on the bullet.
The next size down from these is 348 which would seem to small.
Has anyone gotten this to work with 9x19 before? I really wanted to use the press-mounted puller for around ~100 rounds I had goofed up on but I'm getting tempted to just buy one of the kinetic/hammer type pullers.
Thanks.
