    Big solid block of wood on a concrete slab ... 4 medium hard whacks will pull the bullet almost out ... keep an eye on bullet's progress ... make the last "whack" a medium light hit so the powder doesn't go flying everywhere .
    Easy to recover primed brass , powder and bullets if you know the "Trick " .
    The kinetic puller leaves no damage or even any marks to the projectiles ... Sweet !

    Yep he'll know the trick by the time he gets the second box done
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

    Cautionary tales-

    Heads up for Californians- up to 10 years for possession of a tracer bullet.

    Also nearly lost a local commercial range near Spokane, WA to wildfire from rifleman shooting up a box of old ammo someone gave him that had a tracer in the mix. Now they check all ammo with a magnet as steel core also can create sparks.
