They still marred some of the bullets despite the marketing video. The inertia puller is the only one that does not mar/deform (I have a bullet protector where the bullet impacts) the bullets. The key is not to make too many mistakes.
I have used foamies, pencil eraser, rubber inserts, etc.Can I ask what the bullet protector is ?
I bought one of those and I chunked that stupid thing in the trashI have a grip-n-pull, it does not work well with anything but bullets with little neck tension. It doesn't hardly work with factory ammo and I haven't got it to work with my 33XC.
Thanks. That rules those out. My OAL is 4.42". Looks like it's a collect puller.
I always put cotton balls or jam a piece of dense foam in the bottom so it doesn't mess up the tip of the bulletsM1A1ABRAMS asked about the bullet protector in the bottom of the bullet hammer style puller.
"Can I ask what the bullet protector is ?"
In my RCBS hammer style bullet puller the bullet protector is a fairly dense foam.It works really well as I have not deformed any bullets in the many years I have been using it including lead tip bullets.
Not many were happy with the results on this thread. Possibly yours is better ? Or you found a technique that works well for you ? It looked slick in their video. Kind of reminded me of a brake flaring tool to hold the bullet.Grip n pull
Thanks for the tip. I already have the RCBS. But I need to get some collects. And I am going to get the Lyman.Have RCBS Collet for years, Kinetic, grip and pull and bought the Hornady Cam when it came out. Gave away the Kinetic and Grip and Pull. Now only use RCBS if I don't have the right collet for the Hornady. Set up properly the Hornady is fast and will not mark the bullets. Setting the puller forthe correct grip pressure and a little polishing of the collets on both the RCBS and Hornady goes a real long way to getting rid of any marking. Smooth and polish the very edge of the collet where they contact the bullet.
