I had the opportunity to pull down a couple hundred rounds of 300blk that I want to reload with a different powder. The directions didn't really work for me....or I just didn't read them
Forgive me if this has already been covered somewhere else or something everyone already figured out except me
, but in case someone hasn't here is what I found worked best for me.
Loading the round from the bottom into the collet, it snaps right in.
Once the bullet drops out, push the case out through the top and it slips right through. I was pulling it out the same way it went in and it was a struggle keeping the 3 pieces of the collet together with the o-ring. Only took me a hundred plus rounds to figure this out.
Then I just dumped the powder and bullet back in the powder measure to separate the two without handling either. Adjusted the powder measure to max and dumped the powder back into the can using a funnel, then dumped the separated bullets out.
Banging the puller on a block of wood didn't do squat, but folding an old tee shirt on the vise and tapping 4-5 times dropped the bullet without much effort. Just kept a limp wrist so the puller would bounce up on each strike. Some powder will still bounce out through the gaps in the collet.
I bet others have found better, easier methods with pulling bullets.... it was my first experience with this tool.
