bullet puller

They are all around 25-40 bucks and pretty much do the same thing, no sense wasting time researching this one to death.

I bought an RCBS one and am very happy with it

Not quite.

The Forster collet gets tighter as it is pulled down. Some other designs, like the RCBS, get looser as they pull down - so the Forster is a superior design and does, in my experience, work better (especially on tight bullets). The Hornady Cam-Loc is also a tighter-when-pulled design.

Notice the collet design on the Forster:

I have an RCBS, and have had zero issues with pulling military rounds that were crimped and glued in. Personally I think it is a wash on the collet type.

I have the Hornady cam-lock. If you take the time to set it up properly, you won't even mar the bullets.

Can you guys share some more info on these collet pullers?

Does Lee make one or is there one for a Lee turret press?
Are the projectiles useable after they've been pulled?
What is the price range?
Are these so easy to use that an army guy can figure it out?

I don't know if Lee makes one. They all work in any standard press, including a Lee turret.

The bullets are not damaged at all.

Very easy to use, even for an Army guy.

Excellent, thank you.

I have the Hornaday cam-lok collet style puller & love it. Very easy to setup & use & doesn't mar the bullets.
