Gullo5693,

I looked at the posts you refer to in the reviews. There is something odd about them. They are all six posted with different women's names (not to sound sexist, but it seems improbable that only women would do this) and the three have close or matching posting dates between the two makes of puller, and they have essentially identical sentences and wording among the parallel posts for both brands. One even mistakenly praises the Hornady puller on the RCBS reviews.

It is pretty obvious to me that all six review are posted by the same person using different names. I have no idea what that person's agenda is?

I would need to try the method to see what it does to accuracy? Shrinking a bullet base with nothing to force coaxiality of the reduced portion with the rest of the bullet sounds pretty iffy to me. You can do a lot to a bullet nose without much adverse effect on short range accuracy, but a bullet base is quite sensitive to tilt error. In a handgun the accuracy error would be harder to see than in most rifles. Of all the chamberings mentioned in those reviews, a .30-06 bolt rifle would tell you the most about the matter.
