Pulled Bullets?

[Shubey]

I use rcbs collet bullet puller. Seems this unit scars bullets! Will this affect accuracy? Please advise. D.

I'd avoid using them for serious hunting but for blasting steel, paper, and varmints you won't likely notice. Good for the first couple of shots after cleaning also.

I've used one for years and have Never scored bullets.
Doesn't need to be that tight.

I was wondering about that!

YMMV

Better to get one of the hammer-looking kinetic bullet pullers too. They're affordable (Amazon).

Different bullets can require different extraction methods. i.e I don't think you'd want to use the hammer thing on a soft-point. The collet puller won't work so well on pistol bullets deeply seated into a case.

I've pulled bullets and used then for normal hunting ranges . Unless real boogered up or you're shooting bench rest groups, they work fine.

If they get marked up use them for foulers. I use a grip n pull and usually they pull without any issues. Only way to find out is test them. I have used some with minor marks and didn't notice a difference, but that was not at long distance.

Appreciate response .

I just had a rainy day and used the RCBS collet bullet puller to clean out my "pull" box. I just toss the pulled projectiles in the appropriate boxes and run them as-is for PRS competition. Most of my pulls were 134ELDM (setting up new dies), 115DTACs, and 75ELDMs. No visible damage to the pulled bullets.

(That way when I miss - I say it must have been one of those pulled bullets!)

Good train of thought!

Don't crank on the handle so hard, I can sufficiently pull bullets with out distorting them using that same puller.

Ok,thanks.
