What is the best bullet puller?

[troy fairweather]

I feel the rcbs is best I think the hornady is no faster, once the rcbs is set you hardly need to turn it a 1/8 maybe a 1/4 turn. I've used wire cutters a lot and with a few mods you can pull bullets without a mark. There's times where the wack a mole are good to have around, hope to catch mess up early with them lol.

The total number that I have to pull is actually around 800. I think I’ll pull 100 a day for eight days. It sounds better that way.

Be sure to switch arms each day, Popeye! (Maybe Babe Ruth? That's a lot of swinging!)

For a collet puller to work you need a straight section to clamp onto. Normally this is 1/16"-3/32" as a min. If the bullet has been crimped them all bets are off. All depends on how much and what crimp was applied, taper vs roll vs LFC.

This is what I use to pull rifle bullets.

Just grip the bullet right at the case mouth & pull the handle up.
It will pull the bullet out & only leave a few dots on the bullets.

that’s a great Idea!!! and exactly what I was looking for!

I bought the collet puller, it’s hard to find the collets

I’ve popped out a couple dozen with my impact puller, but it’s beating the puller (and me) to death.

Give them a wack with the impact puller to expose some bullet shank and have at it

I just got the RCBS to pull down some 223. Wow, it is amazing over the Ole hammer method! When I wanted to learn to reload 223 I had a friend "teach me" which was mostly him doing the loading. I didn't really know much, but I saw he was loading 28.1 gr blc-(2) which I saw in the Hornaday book said "warning max load". I let him know about it and he just said, "ya, these are going to be hot". A few seemed like they were very heavily crimped. I hope no one else teaches people wanting to get in to reloading this way

I have a Hornady Cam lock that I will give you if I can find it. I have a few different collets too. I use the grip and pull these days for both pistol and rifle. A little piece of sandpaper to rough up the inner grabbing surface makes it the fastest easier bullet puller in the game.
