Best bullet puller?

I started with the RCBS inertia. I switched to the Forster collet style puller and have been happy.
That grip and pull looks like a great, simple idea. But I am not paying the price in US dollars.
I am surprised Lee did not come out with that. Lee probably could not find anywhere to mount plastic. LOL!
I seriously do like Lee though.

For high volume pulling (say, pulling a few thousand milsurp rifle bullets) I use this:
For pulling match rifle bullets without marring them, I use a collet puller that is mounted permanently in my turret press. You can see it to the right of the hi-volume puller.
For other rifle ammo situation, I use a sidecutter. When the bullet pops above the opening in the press, the sidecutter bites the bullet and pulls it out on the downstroke.
For the occasional pistol bullet (too short for the sidecutter technique) I use an inertia puller - or just toss them.

I was waiting for you to show off! �� I really hate it when you show that pic because I WANT one and they are all gone.For high volume pulling (say, pulling a few thousand milsurp rifle bullets) I use this:

None I can find. They actually worked and were simple in design. Guess not complicated for the majority of the reloading world.
I have one in my press and a couple more still in the wrapper. They wear out after about 100,000 pulls. If I can find a worn out one I will give it to you. It should be easy to re-sharpen it.
Pretty much. I use an inertia puller to take down 7.62x54r for making cheap 303. I don't pull down thousands at a time, and it gives me nice looking bullets.
In case no one mentioned it the Hornady Cam-Lock is pretty damn good.
Where do you get these?
Found the Cam-Lock on Amazon but not a .40 collet.

exspensive too. the collet is the same price as the cam lock puller
Really watch reloading tools off of Amazon unless buying directly from Amazon. Some re-sellers have prices that are almost criminal.
The #11 Collet for 10mm bullets (About $13.00 at PR)

Thank-you very much for the info. E-bay also has some pricey shipping from some sellers.
Just checked out shipping from PR, Collet $12.99 plus $19.29 shipping. Ouch!

These are the best. At The worst, may leave a slight mark on the bullet.
Tried that. More like twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack, twack,.....pawp. And not even crimped!
