Bullet Puller?

[sierracharlie338]

I use the RCBS collet system and have been very happy with it. No marking unless I gorilla fist it and works every time.

I haven't heard any bad reviews of it it works exactly as advertised but I have heard of a lot of people that do not like them that is their personal choice I happen to like mine it works perfectly and I can pull many more bullets than you can with any other type of puller in a short amount of timeView attachment 220228

This looks like a good way to do it....I pulled some yesterday with pliers laid over the top of the press and it got them out just fine, but it deformed the bullets so badly I resorted to the milling machine today, but I think I'm going to get busy making a puller like this one

Once again thanks for the replies. For me the best option is either buying the collets I need for the Forester puller I have, or take a flier on the Grip-N-Pull. The members here who own one seem to be satisfied. The good news is at the moment I only have a few bullets to pull.

I don't recon the guy has next to zero neck tension on those seated cartridges on the grip n pull video on the website

Not sure how it would go on any crimped seated cartridge or even where you can't regulate your neck tension like you can with bushing dies?

I like the idea of being multi calibre though.

If I didn't have an RCBS college then I would look at one for sure if they were even available here but as usual we are way behind & I just looked at Amazon & can't be delivered here

Also different collets from different manufacturers are not transferable

After quite a bit of thinking, flip flopping, and reading I decided to go with the RCBS puller and collets. I like it better than the Hornady, Forster and the Grip-N-Pull, especially for .22 caliber bullets. I'll keep the Forester for the 30 caliber bullets, if the RCBS really shines I can always buy the 30 caliber collet for it. Thanks!

First off hello, it has been several years since I posted here. I started shooting and reloading again and have been out of the loop for quite a while. Boy have prices gone up! Anyway, I have a Forster Collet Bullet Puller. I am trying to source a few collets for it and I am having difficulty. I'd like to have collets for .22 cal, 6 mm, 6.5 mm and 7 mm, 30 cal I have. I was thinking of scrapping the idea and buying a Grip-N-Pull puller, but the reviews weren't impressive. I have an intertia puller, but like the collet pullers. Any help is appreciated, go easy it's my first time posting in a long time.

I have and use the Hornady collet-style bullet puller and like it fine. You may have an easier time finding the collects for it. I seem to recall it was fairly inexpensive.

I have an inertial bullet puller and it works. But I have to whack the snot out of it to get the bullets out, it's not consistent, is prone to damaging ballistic tips, and requires a solid surface which won't be damaged upon which to whack it (pine lumber gets dimples pretty badly, I use a piece of 1/4" steel plate on top of the lumber).

FWIW.

I purchased a RCBS Puller and collets for 270; 30cal ; 6mm and 222. decades ago. Never an issue , always there when you need it.......... AND I have actually fired bullets that have been pulled and then reseated, with no negative results. Fine for Target and Hunting, but I never tried it for Match shooting

I've used my RCBS collet puller for many years and rarely have an issue ruining a bullet. It's an excellent tool.

 

[demarpaint]

I'll know soon enough, I placed the order earlier this morning and it already shipped. I have a few 22.250 bullets to pull.

I had the Forster and hated it.
RCBS collet puller works much better. It's easier to see when you are at the appropriate depth and doesn't even leave a mark on the bullets. Superior to the Forster in every way.
Inertia pullers work but they are a pain to use and most won't fit Lapua size or bigger rounds.

I have a RCBS collet puller, an inertia puller and a grip and pull, the grip and pull beats them all for speed and damage to the bullet.

 

[Josebigsky]

I have both the Forester and the Grip and pull. You can't beat the speed of the grip and pull. It works quickly and leaves a minimum damage on the bullets. I have an old single stage press that I use just for pulling bullets. It works great.

RCBS works good for me.

I have the RCBS collet bullet puller , and it works well pulling bullets . the Hornady collet puller would work better for me . I use a T-7 turret top press . the "T" handle on the RCBS hits on the other dies . the Hornady with the flip handle would work much easier .

I have found the RCBS collets work better when you go up one caliber from the stated caliber, i.e. use .277 for .264 bullets, less damage to the bullet.
