NEVER use a kinetic puller on rimfires!
You would think common sense would tell you that.

Using a rubber-padded roofing washer in the bullet puller prevented any mishaps. Pulled some 75 .22rfs without incident.

All I can say is you're lucky.
Actually, I could say more, but I won't.
Glad you haven't been hurt.

Interesting data. Thanks for sharing.

interesting that the sea foam deactivated them according to it's MSDS it consists of Petroleum distillates, Hydrocarbon-based solvent, Isopropyl alcohol.

Gasoline did nothing and neither did isopropyl alcohol when used by themselves. No idea which hydrocarbon based solvent they used, could be any of a couple of dozen different solvents

I do understand that this is an old thread but felt it was important enough to add this reply as "some" previous were questionable, safety wise. I will buy into this method and if nothing else, follow the spirit of the information his technique. .....

The method looks fine, but you only need to watch fifty seconds of it, from 1:10 to 2:00 to see the extraction done. YouTubers often add lots of extra introductory and post discussion to things.
