Bullet Pullers

Post by Headhog » Mon May 16, 2022 1:11 pm

Anybody have experience using a collet bullet puller on lead or plated bullets? I've got a large batch of 40 S&W rounds I want to disassemble and do not want to use a kenitic puller. Most of the collet type are not recommended for lead. I assume this is because they will damage the bullet.

Thanks

Never used one, all I have is the kenitic one.

I use the RCBS for 5 different rifle calibers - jacketed bullets. It works like a charm on those. No marks or distortion on the retrieved bullet. I haven't used it on lead though. Hope someone can answer that for you.
