Collet bullet puller - RCBS, Hornady or other?

[Chief Rick]

I reckon it's time to invest in one of these.

 

Any preference?

I just replaced my old one with the Frankford Arsenal one that uses Lee shell holders. I like it a lot.

I have used one of these for over 10 years, works great, get the correct size collet for the bullet diameter you are going to pull.

After a brief search (Midway USA and Brownell's) it looks like I'll have to go with the Hornady.  RCBS is out of stock.

The cam lock is designed for jacketed rifle bullets. Little surface area to grab onto and  Crunches lead pistol bullets in my experience.

HC, yes that what they say, I can tell you from personal experience I have pulled cast & coated bullets for years. At one point I pulled 300+ bullets to check an issue I had with powder levels. They cam lock unit works great!

I have the RCBS and have had the same experience as Turquoise Bill.

This one and have pulled a bunch without any effort. It is a tad expensive but no need to hammer around

Had my RCBS since the 1980's, it's never let me down
