Must haves - kinetic bullet puller

[rm1911]

I finally decided to get one after all these years. Had some cabelas points and threw it on the order. Think it was like $20 or so. had some old 45 reloads that I'd forgotten what I'd loaded them with and did t feel like shooting them to find out. Took a few minutes but pulled 50 and saved the primed brass and bullets.

If your starting out reloading or even a seasoned vet, really a must have. Shoulda got one a lot sooner

Just thought I'd share that. Hope it helps.

I have used one for years. Finally chipped off the end and RCBS sent me a new one free.
Also should have a collet style bullet puller and a stuck case remover

I like the FA ones better than the RCBS ones. But, I do like my RCBS collet puller.

You can use a standard shell holder to hold the round instead of fighting with the universal retainer and the O ring. (Franklin Armory)

LoL@Oring... Yes it is nice, but I do not think it is really needed, that plastic cap keeps things pretty tidy yes? Oh I could be wrong, in any event, using a shell holder does sound appealing.

I have the blue one. I do not think that it is right that the company will replace it for you free of charge, but I am glad they do. It just seems like it is a hammer meant to hammer things, you know? Eventually it SHOULD break...

Of course it helps. But this is Calguns, so someone will create a strawman and flame you for it anyway.

Anyway, a kinetic puller was on my initial reloading gear order. Very handy.

I mistakenly slightly overcharged 200 .45 ACP loads. Thank goodness for my RCBS puller, it has saved my dumb butt more than once.

Kinetic collet stuck case remover all the signs of reloading for a while.

+1 on using the shell holder. Also, I found that putting a piece of rubber,foam or cardboard in the bottom will keep from damaging the bullet.

yep, shell holders work better than those universal ring thingies, I just hate it when I forget the shell holder and leave it in the bullet puller. I freak out looking for it around the press/reloading area and realize i used it last while pulling bullets.

I like using it on the unfired ammo I find while scrounging for brass at the range. I use a Lyman bullet puller and it seems to work best when I pound it on dense wood.

That is one reason to buy RCBS. The warr and service!

I use a piece of an ear plug in the bottom of mine.

Yes been loading a very long time.

Ha, an RCBS kinetic puller was among the first things I bought when I started, 'cause I knew I was going to be making mistakes...

Tried the ear plug and it was a perfect fit and won't let any powder get left it the puller. Thx
