6MT, nice looking bench set-up you have there. Bet you'll enjoy shooting that .44. Perhaps I missed it; what are you going to shoot those loads thru? Thanks.

I added a shelving unit to the table. Leveled the shelf and began arranging things

I spent some time attempting to remove bullets from some slightly overloaded cases. I've had a hundred rounds loaded for a year. They are loaded above the 'max' load for my rifle. I bought the 'grip n pull' plier. It does not have the grip to remove using my Lee press.

After struggling for a while, I thought I would use my kinetic hammer. What a pain in the buttocks.

I am seriously tempted to just shoot them. It is a load of 15 grns of 2400. About .7 grns above max. Yeah, I had a brain fart when I read the load for 125. I shoot 158.

Anybody been here? I will reload them if I have to.

And I thought I was using mine wrong when my hand hurt.

Actually I ended up taking my bench anvil out to the patio concrete slab with a comfy chair and using my kinetic bullet puller I knocked out a couple dozen mistakes of various calibers.
Hand did hurt after.

Get a collet style puller.
