Bullet pulling

[xJMV]

I bought mine right from their website. Shipping was pretty quick.

Yeah, but it gets a single GNP pricey with flat shipping and currency exchange...

Any issues? How easy is it to pull? What about the amount of grip strength required? Is there enough mechanical leverage?

No issues, it's easy to pull just set it on top of your press and grip the bullet and move the press lever to pull the bullet. Sometimes I use one size up to get a real good grip.

^^^ will one puller do most sizes or do you need a couple different pullers?

They 4 models I can see

STANDARD RIFLE - pulls calibers 17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 & 30
LARGE RIFLE - pulls calibers 8mm, 338, 358, 375, 416 & 458
PISTOL - pulls calibers 9mm/357, 40, 44, 45 & 500
MIL SPEC - pulls calibers 5.56, 7.62, 338 & 50 BMG

It looks like I would need three out of the four pullers to do the calibers I load for, I'll probably start with the pistil cal puller first as thats the one that I would use the most.

True. For me it was cheaper to buy a rcbs puller and all the collets I need. Would have needed just 2 GNP and that's more expensive than the rcbs with 6 collets.

Collets are the way to go IMHO

Let's say: 45$us + 25$us = 70$us x 1.29$ = about 90$cad for just a single pistol GNP... without even counting more than possible duty fees...

I can get them shipped in the states and pick up when I'm there. Its not so bad then.

Yes but its worth it if shipping to a US address for free or ordering 4 or five by going in with a friend or group buy... otherwise for sure shipping kills it... we need a Canadian dealer for these!

Wrote to them in hope to have them stocked at Amazon or through Canadian dealer... will let you know about updates...

If you need rifle+pistol, then it's 110$US, or 140$CA. Enough for a rcbs puller (35$) and 6 collets (17$*6 = 102$) with free shipping.

Plus one can probably make a similar tool with a 1/8'' sheet of metal, a saw and a drill. It's not like that thing needs precision CNC.

Good idea though.

 

[Magellann]

^^^Thats what I was thinking, once you have a template you can easily make your own and drill the appropriate size holes in it to suit your needs.

 

[Grant Shave]

I have Davidson style pullers I had made, one tool pulls 22 cal , 6mm, 6.5, 30 cal and 338

I will see if I can bump my ad, will be in the reloading EE

I bought a Grip-N-Pull for pistol and I'm not having much luck with it.

It won't grip a semi wadcutter shaped bullet without slipping off. If the bullet is lead or plated it's damaged and not reusable. It will not pull a long bullet, like a 158gr HP .357 that has a good crimp on it.

Guess I'll stick with my RCBS...

If your having those kind of results, did you contact the manufacturer and tell them of your problem using the too? Perhaps they could offer a solution.
