Bullet puller? What do you have?

[BoomFlop]

I have read about collet/die, inertia/hammer style and the Grip-N-Pull style.

Would love to be educated on this? Would only be used for if working up a load, I run into pressure and want to pull the remaining bullets. Not sure how often this will happen as I probably won't go over listed max change in book (at least till I have been reloading awhile).

Thanks
Steve

Grip-N-Pull is what I prefer to use. Tried a kinetic hammer and hated it - spilled powder, deformed bullet tips. Not very fun, especially if you have quite a few rounds to pull.

I use a Grip-N-Pull, and it works pretty well. If used properly, it only leaves a small mark on the bullet jacket, and I have not noticed that it affects accuracy, and still use the bullets. with the grip and pull, I do recommend getting some rubber tool handle dip, and dip the handle a few times. It makes it more comfortable to use, especially if you have more than just a few bullets to pull or if you have really old ammo that has cold welded to the case neck.

I have used a kinetic puller as well, I put a piece of foam in the end and it prevented bullet damage, but you still have powder spill everywhere, and it is pretty slow.

I ended up putting a cotton ball in the end as well. Just couldn't stand the mess with powder.

Just a regular old RCBS kinetic puller. Hammer-type thing that I hate to use but am glad to have when I need it. Usually employed when I get pressure signs moving up a ladder and have to pull some. Use is typically accompanied by profanity.

I have all three types. My preferred devise is my RCBS collet style bullet puller.

Hammer style for reloading
Collet for pulling crimped Bullets or reloads that have a lot of neck tension

Since I started using the collet type puller, you could not give me a kinetic puller.

The only thing it screws up the bullet but I do like it better also

RCBS collet puller is the only way to go. I haven't had any issues with it messing up the bullets.

I too have all three (3 inertia hammer, 1 collet die, and GNP). IMHO, it's effectiveness depends on the type of bullets and find the inertia hammer most effective. Luckily, I do not have plenty to pull out when I make loading errors.

All three.

I second this.
