[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2895535, member: 71817"] I have a RCBS Collet puller. Looks like a sizing die and screws right into the press. I found that I had to brace my bench/mounting point for my press because all the force was now in the opposite direction. I had some old old military ammo .303 and .308 that I needed to make inert. A friend said he would just shoot them up. I had 380 rounds. His first shot of .303 resulted in a locked up bolt that required a trip to the gunsmith. So I got the RCBS puller. These were old rounds and I suspect some weld had occurred. I repeatedly pulled my bench up off the floor. Then I ran them all through my bullet seating die. Just pushed the bullet down a few thousandths and then easy peasy. All the bullets pulled easily and quickly Any time I run into a tough bullet to pull I push it in a little then it pulls right out. On other rounds I have repeatedly reused the brass, undamaged after FL sizing, and have even reloaded the bullets with great results on game. I was given a bunch of rounds with Swift A-Frames loaded. I wanted those bullets. If I did my part and tightened down the collet correctly I never had a mark on the bullets. Loaded and shot perfectly, Passed concentricity. [/QUOTE]
