Inertia Puller

[imyourhuckleberry]

Why not use something like the cam lock Puller from Hornady? It is generally faster and causes no damage.

Bought one of those a while back. I have about 300 rounds of 45/70 given to me that are reloads without load data, so gotta pull all of them and use powder as fertilizer.

I hate them things. I have beaten all the paint off of my bench vice and broken 2 pullers. Sometimes you have to wack'em so hard it deforms the point of your bullet.
I'm a Grip-n-pull guy now. Nothings faster and I haven't ruined one bullet or spilled
Powder yet.

I put a couple of cleaning patches inside the tip to stop that problem.

You sound like me.

I like the grip n pull but it does put a circular dent in bullets. You just haven't had it happen yet. Not a fan of inertia pullers either but I think I prefer them to the grip n pull if I can find a more durable one. The powder thing isn't a concern for me as it's contained. Just not as convenient. Lyman makes one that looks like it may be a bit more durable

So I break mine the other day and I only use it to break the neck tension then use collet puller. I was going to order and dropped by my LGS today, he was putting one on shelf! Just got it in today! How does that happen? I usually get had them in stock yesterday!!! Was cheaper than on line plus no shipping!

Didn't they ever tell you not to drive and pull bullets at the same time?

Back when I shot the 14 a lot, shot Ks of MexMatch. The best thing I found was to set up a seating die to break the seal, then pull with collet puller. Push-pull. Any turret press works great for that purpose. Did not have one early on, when the T7 came out I bought one and had it set just for deprocessing.

I use the coax to seat bullets.

You need more presses!

Where your Area-419 press. No P-Warren presses? I have 4 of them.

Personal reason, due to a handshake deal that went sour with the owner of Area 419 back in 2014, I will not give him a cent of my money.

FYI, I have not loaded ammo using the presses except for the deprocessing station and the DIY arbor press for my own use for the last 2 years. My buddies have used the Dillons, and I gave the 550 to a junior shooter and everything she needs to load her own ammo.

I only use mine yo break the neck tension then I switch over to RCBS collett puller. Breaking neck tension helps a ton pulling with collett.

Seat the bullet deeper to break any 'weld' and then pull with your collet bullet puller.

Seat the bullet deeper to break any 'weld' and then pull with your collet bullet puller.

True but sometimes this method can mar the bullet from extra press pressure. The inertia breaks the tension and allows collet pullers easier time to pull.

I have broken RCBS and Franklin, bought a Lyman about 2 years ago and so far its held up better that the 2 previous and seems to get it done with less strokes, I use a log from a tree I cut down to impact against, it doesn't glance nearly as bad as going against steel.
