I find if I want to salvage j bullets with no damage the Hornady puller is the fastest with no damage. The plier method is faster but usually ends up with more damaged bullets. Hammer is
slowest and can be rough duty on some crimped ammo.

I've done this for years but I just use whatever pair of side cutting pliers that is close to hand. I use a bullet puller if I want to salvage the bullet.
If you size the hole right, 99% of the J-words are reusable.
I've had an RCBS since 1979 and still going strong. That being said they seem pretty much the same. I'd buy which ever one your local LGS sells.
Sometimes it takes a second box of boolits to clear my head.

I actually have to do this with about 24 44 mag loads that I sized at .430, and they leaded, so I am going to use a socket or pvc pipe to pull them, and have the expander already in the press, so I can pull expand, then seat a 431 ( which does not lead, I already know) I will have the seater ready in my 2nd press, so I can pull, expand, and seat, in three fairly quick successions.
