bullet/boolit puller

[shotman]

here is one I found that works very good and you wont belive it . I was in shop and had about 10 old shells that had been damaged. thought I would pull bullet and scrap the brass.
Put in vice and got a set of plyers. looked over on table and had a copper tube flaring tool. It has several pipe sizes. I will Give it a try clamped it around bullet and one twist had bullet in the clamp. HEY it had new lube grooves too

This gives me another idea. Lead boolits are hard to pull without a kinetic puller.
I have the flaring block that has handles that you squeeze to close the block.
I could thearetically put a round in the press without dies and run it out the top
and clamp the block onto the bullet and lift the press handle.
This will be worth a try. If lucky, no more whacking the floor with the kinetic puller.

I put the cartridge in the shell holder, raise the ram and lock a vise grip onto the boolit. When I raise the handle the boolit is pulled out.

Ditto only I use a pair of pliers, then remelt the boolit.

I would either use an RCBS bullet puller in my Press or a pair of pliers depending how mad I was at the moment either way the bullet goes back in the pot.

I use the channel lock pliers too. I just thought that saving the boolit might not be a bad idea if it was easily doable

I've got a puckle of 8 x 58RD rounds to pull.

Annealed cases with a partial neck resize just didn't give enough neck tension for the N135 I was using. :cry:

So I'll pull the boolits with the pliers and recast them, quicker than using the kinetic puller and easier on reclaiming the pooder.

I have a kinetic bullet puller but, after finding out the 9mm Lugers I'd loaded were too hot, I found that the hammering excessively was too much work. I had quite a number to pull and the case neck tension had me swatting wood for ages. Asked the guys on this forum, they said use vice grips. It worked, and here's a photo of the setup, small needlenosed vice grips and the old RC.
Appreciate ya guys,

I run the rd into a sizing die the length of the bullet.and use a shell holder in the impact hammer.
