How dangerous is it to use an inertia bullet puller to remove bullets from cartridges loaded with black powder? I'm thinking that it should be fairly safe, but I would appreciate input from anyone who has done this before. I loaded several .45 LC with 255 gr. semiwadcutters before my R & D cartridge coversion cylinder arrived and even though I roll crimped them in the crimping groove, they are about 1/16" too long for the cylinder. I have decided to replace them with 200 gr. RNFP bullets.

Thanks.
