Bullet Pullers

[MMH]

What's the best bullet puller out there? Want something that will let me reuse the bullets but be fairly quick to use. How is the Hornady cam-lock?

Moderators- can you move to reloading forum?

Kinetic pullers are the fastest. May not be the best . For speed they can,t be beat. Just my two cents Tom

I have a RCBS collet bullet pullet set up, works well, does leave a minor ring on the tip area at times, but hasn't affected accuracy for me. I don't compete LR, so..... just varmint and paper punching.

I use a kinetic puller also, works fine.

GRIP-N-PULL - The Best Bullet Puller in the World

If you pull your own bullets, the GRIP-N-PULL is the #1 piece of reloading equipment you need. The patented GRIP-N-PULL makes collets and inertia pullers history! Tired of impact pullers? Gripnpull is cleaner, faster, quieter, and easier.

RCBS collet puller has worked well for me. I also have a kinetic puller, but it does not work as well, IMO.

I have tried the all. This one.is a little pricey but my favorite. Don't even need a press.

I have the Hornady press mounted puller works great when I want to leave the powder in the case. It may leave a minor mark on the bullet depending on how tight I adjust the collets.
I also use the hammer for when I make dummy rounds. The hammer is quicker but IMO messy if I have powder in the case. With the hammer I have a piece of paper tissue inside of the cup so the tip (especially ELD match) are not damaged when it hits the inside of the cup.

Both work great for my use.

Sometimes I wish you guys wouldn’t keep digging my rabbit hole deeper!

I use both inertia and collet type depending on the situation. The inertia puller when wanting to pull cast bullets from handgun ammo, and to break the "weld" on some rifle loads before going to the collet puller.

I use the kinetic when I have one or two rounds to pull. The Hornady cam lock when I have many.

I use a RCBS puller and it works great if you I need to pull several bullets at a time. It’s kind of a pain to set up so I usually end up just using pliers and wasting the bullet if I just need to pull a couple at a time. I’ve been wanting to try the Grip-N-pull.

I recently picked up the hornady collet puller. I like it so much more than a kinetic puller.

Hornady collet puller. Kinetic hammers suck rocks.

 

[LVLAaron]

Watched the video. Looks simple and effective. It won't work on a Forster Co-ax though. At least not easily.

These are a little more prone to damage/dent your bullets. If you have light neck tension its not an issue, but if you're pulling something tight, you want a collet or inertial puller

I've been using the RCBS collet puller for 45 years and am well pleased with it. Never even looked at anything else.

I must resist. I must resist.

If you've got an RCBS puller and a CoAx, this handle from mcmaster-carr works great.

For my purposes (hunting and practice) the RCBS collet puller works like a champ. I have a RCBS inertia hammer type but I must be doing using it incorrectly...I have to beat the $hit out of a round to remove the bullet...sometimes 20-30 hits. That led me to get the collet puller and I really like it.

I have both the collet (RCBS) puller and a few inertial pullers, and now just ordered a couple of the Grip N Pull pullers. For the most part I use the collet pullers when I can, but lead SWC in 45ACP cannot be pulled with a collet puller as there is very little of the full diameter bullet above the case head, so they are always inertial pulled. I suspect the Grip N Pull will not work on the .45's also. The jacketed bullets should work with Grip N Pull, so it will be worth it to have them.
