Bullet seat too deep. Do Hornady bullet puller or RCBS fits on Lee precision press?

Hopefully you are using Hornady bullet #30395(30-30 bullet). Hornady #30396 is for the 308 express. I would use the hammer type puller and give 2 firm raps and check to see if the cannelure becomes visible, if it does set up for a light crimp and then shoot away. If you loaded with the express bullet, that cannelure and bullet shape(ogive location) is very different.
 
Put a foam earplug in the bottom of the puller and the bullet won't be damaged.

I used a strip of 1/4" wetsuit material rolled into a ring and shoved in (might have been a couple; don't remember now.)

You still end up with powder all over the place though.
 
The hammer type worked well for me. Pulled as many as 200 one time. The clamshell inserts they use are a pain. I found that the RCBS shell holders work well with the Frankford Arsenal one.
 
Je suis du Québec aussi. J'habite près de Trois-Rivières. Si jamais tu as des question je viens sur le forum 2-3 fois par semaine, juste a envoyer 1 message en privé.
