[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2373351, member: 8873"] I have had this very model since they came out, it is what I would call decent. They work better when the neck tension isn’t really high and you have lots of bullet seated out to grab. I have had several rounds (factory and hand loads) that it just will not work on, to include LC .50 BMG rounds. What I do to pull .50 BMG bullets is drill a hole in a 2x6 I have screwed onto my tabletop just big enough to fit the bullet in and then slightly work the case back and forth just enough to loosen the bullet up, then pull it. Then you can simply dump the powder and resize the case. Seems to me that whatever method you use to loosen the bullet is going to contour the neck enough to make simply reseating another bullet in it have very inconsistent neck tension. So I would resize anyways. I do not recommend inertia pullers to anyone. A few years back I had an UltraMag case primer initiate when I smacked the blunt end onto a concrete block. Lucky for me it wasn’t the first strike and I did not see the bullet and 90 sum odd grains of powder already dislodge on the previous attempt…that could have been bad! [/QUOTE]
