bullet puller for wsm cases?

[southwind]

My old rsbs bullet puller really doesn't work with a wsm case. Does anyone know if anyone makes one that will accommodate a wsm case?

Several years ago I ran into the same trouble. I also needed a puller that would fit a .338 Lapua. My solution was to take the RCBS bullet puller, use a battery powered drill with a 5/8" bit to just drill down the appropriate length . It has worked just fine for years. Don't forget to use a shell holder instead of the three piece collet that comes with the puller.

Is it because the RCBS one goes over the neck/shoulder somehow? The Hornady cam-lock bullet puller does not go over the neck of the case. You raise the bullet up in the press until the collet is surrounding the bullet and stop just short of the case neck, engage the handle to grab the bullet with the collet, then lower the ram to pull the case away from the bullet, which remains in the collet. I would imagine that it would work on any case, including WSM.

I tried a 9/16" bit and shell holder and it worked like a dream. Thanks for the suggestion. I just am wondering now why I didn't think of that.

Thanks again.

+1 on the Hornady cam lock puller. A beautiful device.
