[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 885195, member: 39764"] +1 with Greyfox. If I pull any (we all make mistakes, better to pull it than chance it anytime), I 'feel' the way a new pill inserts into the case mouth by putting it in with my fingers. If it goes in easily (usually the case with multiple fitings and worked brass with little springback that is approaching the annealing stage, I use a NS die to 'tighten' the neck up (thats the only thing I use an NS die for btw). When I say finger insertion, I don't mean inserting the pill all the way, I mean partially and that becimes an exercise in opinion, something that needs to be 'felt' by the person. Keep in mind that all 90% of my rifle pills are boat tail and all my brass is VLD chamfered, so manual insertion will accor on all brass to a point. To pull pills, I use a Lee 'Factory Crimp Die', run the pill into the die with the pill in the jaws (but not the brass) and run the jaws down on the pill and retract the ram. That pulls the pill handily and leaves no mark, like the Grip-n-Pull without the tool. I'm cheap. [/QUOTE]
