I need help

[willtim]

I really screwed up 20 rounds. I need to pull bullets, dump powder, and de-cap unfired primers. Who makes the best bullet puller and how do I de-cap unfired primers? Thanks for all of the advice.

I like the collet pullers best.

Why do you need to deprime?

I don’t know about best, but I have used the kinetic bullet pullers in the last. They work but it would take a while to do a box…

For the primers I have just “shot” them in my rifle after the bullet and powder were removed.

I like the rcbs collet puller that screws in the press for uncrimped hunting rounds, set up correctly it doesn’t mark up bullets. Either a decapping die or just run it back in your sizing die and pop the primer out.

I seated bullets too deep on a compressed load and expanded the shoulder. The cases won't chamber.

Don't waste your time with the hammer pullers , these work ten times as fast .

Davidson Bullet Puller

Davidson Bullet Puller If we reload, we all at sometime face the task of having to disassemble cartridges or pull bullets. The Davidson Bullet Puller is unlike any bullet puller that you have used before. It is a very efficient and easy to use bullet puller. It is designed to use on soft...

Primers are too expensive to waste. If it were me I’d use a collet puller, dump powder and resize the brass with the primer still seated.

This.

LOL even now 20 primers is like $2.

I like the collet pullers way better than the kinetic ones.

I have used both the RCBS collet and kinetic bullet pullers, they both have there place. Sometimes the collet will leave marks on bullets. I agree with not wasting the primers, just remove the decamping pin from the die before resizing the brass

I dont pull many bullets because I am almost perfect, however the Eld style bullets and collet pullers have given me a fight..almost need the hammer to work them out a tad

Kinetic puller all the way. If you're worried about the cost of primers, the time involved in this isn't an issue. Collet pullers can/will leave marks as has been said.

Put a small piece of foam in the end to cushion the bullet as it comes out and the tips should stay in good shape.

Use one enough, and you'll develop a feel for the bullet coming out. As it starts to come out, lighten up the tapping as the bullet pops free.

The collet pullers are miles ahead of kinetic pullers and still way ahead of the grip n pull style.

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.

Effective is as effective does. 20 rounds is a very small number to be splitting hairs about. Do a kinetic, spend the time and you're good.

 

[Leverwalker]

I just use a kinetic puller with foam at the end, and a Lee universal decapper. I collect the unfired primers and use them again. No issues with either the primers or bullets.

 

[TaperPin]

I bought a bullet puller, but for a long time a simple pair of vice grips in place of a reloading die will easily pull bullets with the press. I never trusted pulled bullets and just tossed them anyway.

Live primers are easily deprimed the normal way.

 

[willtim]

Thanks for all of the advice.

RCBS collet puller. Doesn’t mark up the bullets, and is quiet ( no banging on a hard surface making a racket!)

 

[Yaremkiv]

The RCBS and Forster pullers are good.
