Bullet Puller Hack

[ROCK-IT3]

Free, is that you?

I was thinking "Good Grief, do I sound like free??", but I didn't say "Motherf*cker could have said that in 30 seconds or less", so not entirely like free.

Be aware that there have been reports of detonation when using a shellholder rather than the supplied collet.

Good to know. That would be an eye opener.

Pulled hundreds but I always hate using kinetic bullet pullers. Am I the only one here that looks away and hopes for the best?

i figured that hack out about 10 years ago . . . (also) toss a foam earplug in the bullet puller so when the case lets go, the bullet doesn't impact the plastic directly.

A good friend, now deceased, showed me both of the above in 1978.

Thank s for posting, Mark!

I don't find the collet that hard to use. I'm only doing a dozen at a time though.

One is enough.
Israeli uzi 9mm takes a minimum 6 full bore whacks to get a bullet out. 11 was the most.
I have no idea how that plastic doesn't explode.

I would just repair the old one with a rubber band. No sense in paying a few bucks or so on a o-ring.

Never had a problem with plastic collets. RCBS
