Lee bullet puller?

[downwind]

Lee came out with a promotional video of a press mounted bullet puller a couple years ago that looked like it worked pretty slick.

Was it ever released, where did it go?

Anyone know

I remember seeing that.
Wonder what happened to it.

Like so many before it, it did'nt work (properly).

Sure when you seat a bullet and pop it immediately after it's easy peasy.
Now try some 20+ year old reloads with heavy crimped bullets and that small lock ring starts to slip.
The upp the anty and start on some milsurp ammo and even the Forster Superfast started to destroy bullets and strip instead of pulling the bullet.

Simply not good enough for what people would put it through so they fessed up and ditched it.

No Hornadys is a collet type and works quite well.

Lees design is this one:
And #14 is the small ring that pulls the bullet. It wont stand up to hard seated bullet without stripping.
