Atlgentlegiant Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Got some remanufactured ammo I do not trust (big FPS spread and really tight crimps) so time to pull the bullets and at least be able to use the components. Time to put on the iPod and spend some time in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have around a hundred 45acp's that I loaded myself (in error) that needs to be pulled. I've been putting it off for several weeks already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I pulled 6,000 major 9mm bullets over the summer...just couldn't pass up converting them to 9mm minor. My pocketbook thanked me but my sanity and wrist are still upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I use a Hornady collet bullet puller. It makes the process faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I pulled 6,000 major 9mm bullets over the summer...just couldn't pass up converting them to 9mm minor. My pocketbook thanked me but my sanity and wrist are still upset I just recently pulled 100 or so and it sucked big time! Next time I need some pulled I'll send them your way.

DyNo! Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 A collet puller is one of the most useful items I have for my press. Don't f*#k with the hammer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlgentlegiant Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks like I may invest in a collet puller at some point. Just to add insult to injury the reman company used plated bullets (they look like Xtreme at least) but the crimp was so tight it deformed them (down to .3995 with a very clear bulge at the case mouth back up to .400) so unless I want to load them at anywhere from 1.114 to 1.119, I prefer 1.135, looks like thos go into the scrap pile. At least the brass looks decent and the primers look to be Federal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pocketbook thanked me but my sanity and wrist are still upset OUCH! I only have about 700 more to pull. I cannot imagine what 6K would have been like.

Miranda Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 why don't you get a faster press? 'cause it is a LOT of work to fix 400 mistakes an hour I hate the time I spend swinging the hammer. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I got a collet for 308 and 223. Havent got the 9mm yet, but after beating out 100 308 I got the Hornady collet puller and once I got it figured out it worked slick.
