So, there's a first time for everything. Looking to pull bullets on 7mm RM to reuse the powder and bullets with a different charge weight.
Bought the RCBS power pull.
Of course, I didn't see instructions in the package (I found them later on the inside of the package tag), so I go to the universal answer for everything - GOOGLE.
Of course the first video that comes up, turns out the guy is as much a moron as I am and SPECIFICALLY says to put the chuck in flat side out. Why didn't the RCBS instruction come up first for me on Google, which shows it round side out? Why? Because why would anything be easy. I ultimately found the RCBS video, but it does not specifically say which way the chuck should go. Only after crap went sideways, THEN I happen to see the instructions in the package. With pictures and everything.
Anyway, I effed $#i+ up. When the chuck is backwards, it was catching on the belt on the case, or if it got past that, the rim would just slip past the chuck. I am a little pissed because the chucks I used are damaged as well as aluminum galling (I think?) on the case. Also, aluminum shavings were in the powder. I separated anything I could see out and loaded cases with it.
Such a simple effing tool..... I wouldn't be so mad at myself (and the moron youtuber) if supplies weren't so scarce and hunting season wasn't right around the corner.
So, the big question. Would you shoot these rounds with the aliuminum galling or throw them away?
