Two things: 1.) As a follow-up to what Majorlk said, if the bullets are crimped or lacquer sealed (think military .45 ACP ball ammo, you can break the seal by running each round through a reloading press with the seating die in, set just low enough to push the bullet into the case slightly to break the seal. After that, use the bullet puller and bang away and you'll get the bullet out much more easily. 2.) I put a cotton ball in the bottom of the tube, to save the point of spitzer-type rifle bullets. Works well. This is not much of a factor with pistol bullets, though.

The pulled is for when I press a bullet in to far while re-loading.

A properly adjusted seating die will solve this problem.

What Pollardjd said about using the seating die to push the bullet in a little can be a big help. Don't ever try to pull rim fire bullets.

Don't you just love it when stuff works the way it's supposed to?

No danger of firing the round, but if I have many bullets to pull I much prefer the collet type. It is faster and takes less effort. I second the advice to adjust the seater so that the bullet is moved if pulling from military rounds.

I wouldn't be without both a kinetic puller and a collet puller.

Regards,
Jerry
