Edge40 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Looking to get a press mounted bullet puller. It will be used for 40. Any suggestions on what to get. I just can't stand the hammer style puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge40 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Have the press just was wondering which puller. I think the ones I saw weren't for pistol bullets not sure why that would be tho. Not sure if I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 hornady cam-lock is a great tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Staff Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I just bought the RCBS, haven't tried 40 but worked fine with 10 so would be same I'm sure. For SWC-types a smaller collet works better, ie 9mm for 45acp SWC, so it has something to grab onto... I suspect the same would apply for any collet base puller. Both prob work equally as well, the RCBC was a bit less so I went with it, plus never really warmed up to Hornady. I guess it depends do you want to spin to tighten or move a lever...

It's not as easy to pull a pistol bullet with it because there isn't much to grab. Just take your time and get the depth right so you're not grabbing the case. As others have posted, a Lee single stage with this puller works great. IMHO, of course. Edited October 30, 2016 by glc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taroman Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 FWIW I tried the collet puller with 44 Magnum. Simply did not work. Impossible to grab the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeinctown Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The Hornady Cam lock is what I had seen recommended but they were all out locally and on amazon when I looked. I bought an RCBS puller which uses different collets. You may need to crank down on it pretty good to remove a bullet depending on the coating and profile. When I use it on blue bullets I get a nice ring from the collet and the bullet is pretty much wasted, but it is only needed when initially setting the Lee FCD for me.

hceuterpe Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd say go with rcbs over hornady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd say go with rcbs over hornady.I've used both. I gave the RCBS away. If you need to do more than a handful, there's only one choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amada8 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I only have the impact hammer and a Hornady Cam lock puller...so can not do a comparison with the RCBS. With the Hornaby, I have ........ahem....... pulled more than my share. It works for me in 9mm, 40S&W and 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I got the RCBS collet puller. What a good tool. I had to pull 300 rounds. No problem on my old Lee press with this puller. All my coated bullets are still good to reload. I had no problems and saved a lot of work compared to my Frankford Kinetic puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
