GRIP-N-PULL Bullet Puller

I have used pliers in the past the same way. Not all of the bullets
can be reused though . So this would seem to be a better way .

It would depend on the price for me. Neat gadget if it is not expensive.
 
They are 40$ US... that's why I'm looking for reviews and comments before order them...

But the Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Puller are around 40$ CND but need to purchase Collet at 12$...

And the Grip-N-Pull is not mechanic... like it!

I like the Hornady it works well and the bullet is always reusable if your careful
 
It would also depend on the type of press you have. The design of a Forster for instance would likely prevent you from using this type of bullet puller.
 
I LIKE IT! ! ! !

For those with the high end presses that might not worth that well with these it would be worth buying a cheapie Lee press just for the pulling ability.

I've got the Hornady collet style puller thinking it would be amazing and a lot quieter and faster than loading and using the kinetic hammer. But while it works superbly on longer rifle bullets it's not so great on the round nose hand gun bullets where the ogive begins right at the case mouth. There's just not enough grip to work.

I won't be buying these though. I've got a machine shop to play with and I'm not afraid to use it. But don't ask for me to make any. To make it worth my while I'd have to charge at least what these guys are asking. And I would not have the provisions for the nice engraving that those ones have. For myself though I can just make the ones I need which means I can likely make do with one or at most two of the tools.
 
I did check the Forster and I'm not able to find a way to make it work :(

I didn't think about it... thanks!

I'll go with the Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Puller that I saw worthing tight on a Forster, but did work...

$40 seems a bit pricey, and then there is the question....who actually carries it in Canada?

I think its rather expensive for what it is too, but it seems like a decent tool especially for the rifle calibres. Some tapered pistol bullets look like they may slip unless your really careful when using it.
 
It certainly sounds promising, but I've been disappointed by bullet pullers so often that I'm a little jaded. One of the most successful "pullers" I've used is a plier style wire stripper, using the serrated strippers between the handles. Although it does leave marks in the bullet, it successfully pulls regardless of how tight the crimp or how sticky the lacquer, which has caused me problems in the past when pulling for Mexican match. This has certainly been the fastest surest system I've tried, the next best being the disk style pullers which I haven't seen in the market place for years; these are equally sure gripping but sometimes slow and difficult to remove the bullet from. The limitations these systems have is heavily crimped cast bullets with short nose sections typical of those suited for .45/70 lever actions. The bullet gets mangled, and doesn't pull free.

Collet style pullers have proven almost useless for my purposes, they slip more readily than any other. Kinetic pullets work fairly reliably, but are slow if there is lots of pulling to do, and they tend to scatter powder around the loading room, ball powder being the worst. Kinetic pullets should almost be viewed as consumable, because they are at their best when used on concrete or steel, but this beats them up quickly.

If the Grip and Pull puller works as well as described, it will produce the speed and sureness of the wire strippers without marring the bullet, and the short pipe to allow pulling of bullets from pistol cartridges is ingeniously simplistic, so I'm in. But that nagging little voice is saying, "Don't count on it!"
 
Nice, but it's expensive for what it is. Then you have to add $24 for shipping and then add the exchange rate. Too bad. I was thinking of ordering one until I saw the numbers.
