I just tried to pull some 158 grain .357 magnum bullets. They are lead, hardcast, semi-wadcutters, and they lead my revolver at low power loadings.
Anyway. I used a press mounted RCBS bullet puller. It has a die with a lock nut and a collet that slips inside the die. The collet is tightened by way of being lifted into the die. A threaded rod, with a handle, screws into the collet from above and lifts it into the die body.
Collet would not grab the hardcast semi-wadcutters. Best I could do was cram a couple bullets way down in their respective cases.
What is wrong?
