Has anyone found a good kinetic bullet puller for short mags??
Im using an RCBS but the collet set up is a p.i.t.a because the short mag case opens it so much it barely fits into the retaining cap!
anyone found a good kinetic puller fir short mags?

Buy some of the davison bullet puller pliers from sinclairs. Take die out of press. Put bullet into shell holder. Raise press. Hold bullet with pliers then pull the ram down.
Rate them so much better than the kinetic bullet pullers.
EDIT- should add they are only good for a thou neck tension. Tight seated bullets I wont use again so I do the same method but with vice grips. Throw the bullet away.

I've done that ever since one of the three thingees sproinged into the back yard.
Thingees and sproinged? Sounds like we shared English teachers.
Like you, I like the collet type pullers, just put them in a hand held Lee loader press.
I use the pulled bullets for foulers. (or put some in fellow competitors reloading boxes when they are loading at the range)

...at around a buck a time. Done it. It hurts.
I have a set of RCBS collets to pull bullets. They can be almost as bad as the vice grips.
60 or so cents but yeah. Gets expensive. If I need to pull bullets I will. Or I use that ammo as foulers or club shoots. The way I see it, if I cock up the reloading, I deserve to pay for it. And like Rod, wont use those pulled projectiles as match ammo. I like the idea of putting them in other peoples ammo boxes.

Hornady Bullet Puller
I have found the best bullet puller is the Hornady It has a lever/cam on top that locks onto the bullet.
It's quick and doesn't mark the projectile.

Argue with a fool, and all the casual observer will see is two fools arguing.
