Nice! I have made one out of wood but just taping the shell holder with cartridge in the hollowed wood block. I put a LONG handle on it and pulled with a single tap.

Is it registered with the ATF
Looks like a cross between a Zip Gun and a Pipe Bomb. All Kinetic’s seem to set off a round on occasions… might want to add some vent holes on the side away from the handle to allow for that possibility. |

Excellent.
The archive toggle is set, how about adding a link in the Gateway thread. |

Get a membership so you can access the media server, or find someone to transfer them to a file on the server.
I have a file set up for the reloading forum, but the book keeping is out of hand and any new photo sets I add will be in a separate folder for each thread or article. The advantage of the Reloading file is that it's shared so many people can get access. At one time, an outside server was more reliable than the old AR15.com server, but the new one has been working okay since the switch. The problem is, every time there has been a major upgrade in the past, our stuff got moved around causing photos to be lost. I had to rebuild everything in the Resources after the last move from the General section, and I'm not sure I caught all of them. Right now I'm afraid to edit anything in the Content server as the files get corrupted. That is the reason for the tacked thread with tutorials, and I have a couple of files out there with new information that y'all can't see because they are also corrupted and I haven't had any luck with getting help about sorting out the problem. As for the stability of outside photo hosts, I can't say. I haven't checked my Photobucket account for at least a year. |

I made one similar to that a while back, but I have a special clip that retain the shell holder in place. Its much quicker to change the rounds out. Just pull the clip, drop the holder out, exchange rounds, insert holder and push clip back in.
But I like your idea as well! |

I have pulled quite a few bullets in the past year and never set one off. In fact, I have never read anywhere of anyone ever setting one off.

I'll probably load a dummy round just to get a 'feel' for how hard i need to smack it and not have my heart racing trying to feel that out

I've pulled nearly 4k rounds with kinetic pullers and never had one go off (my original RCBS puller did bite the dust around 2k though, my newer Fulton is still going strong). Aside from being slow, I prefer it to collet pulling, since it doesn't damage the bullets. |

Have you used that tool?
I would guess the threads would fatigue and crack from the constant pounding. What are you hitting with it? |

I've had to pull ~300 .45 ACP rounds due to insufficient powder
 . Got it down to a single impact on most using the Midway puller. No issues with breaking, just quite messy with powder everywhere. |

I've used a shell holder from time to time in mine. Usually a Lee auto-prime shell holder. I don't normally have any high primers but it is something I will keep in mind.
I don't like how loose the cartridge is when held with a shell holder. The "normal" collet type holders that come with the units hold the cartridge tightly. A shell holder by nature has to accommodate various size (within reason of course) rim thickness. Every time you smack that puller down using a shell holder you apply extra force on the case rim because of the loose fit. I use mine for pulling down lacquer cased 7.62x54R ammo. I then use the powder and bullet in a brass case with fresh primer. This has practically eliminated the "fliers" that I got from the original ammo. I then bell mouth the steel case and load it with one of my cast 160gr bullets for my sub-sonic "match" ammo. The plastic puller works exceptionally well with the 54R because of it being a rimmed case. I could not imagine using the OP's puller to do a few hundred rounds of it. It looks like it would take a week to do. |

This is great. Thank you.
I get so tired of the stupid collets breaking. This should fix that.
