[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1436127, member: 4191"] I pulled about a 1,200 bullets from my .223 reloads ~3yrs ago. Was using a RCBS collet style bullet puller. I pulled these bullets so I could HBN coat them and then reseat them. It was winter and I had time to spare. I came to one case I could hardly pull the bullet from the case neck. I had to tighten down the collet so firmly it deformed the bullet. When I examined the bearing surface of the bullet, it was heavily scarred. Looked at the case it came from and realized it hadn't been deburred. Somehow I missed deburring one of ~1,300 Lake City cases after trimming it down to length. Not a terrible track record of my reloading practice and performance. But I would not want to do that with a large game, long range hunting round. Pretty sure it would cause the bullet to strike to a different POI. And a guy would be left wondering what went wrong... [/QUOTE]
