Bullet Pullers

KJr · November 15, 2009, 02:28 PM

I have acquired a few boxes of old 380's and would like to pull the bullets, clean and reload. The Dillon "hammer type" puller I have is useless. Any suggestions?

I've pulled a bunch of bullets with this type of puller. Tend to like it better than the "hammer."

If they are someone else's handloads,pulling is best,but,if they are factory loads,I'd pull them with my trigger finger.

Suggestion: Figure out why your Dillon puller is "useless" and correct that.

I won't be without my kinetic puller. Not arguing that it's the finest tool for pulling 200 rounds... but I can put 10 of them quick and easy, and I can pull 100 or more if I spread it out.

But I agree with HiBC. If they are factory loads from a known maker, it doesn't matter how old it is... I'd shoot them.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
