Is there any trick to pull out a bullet from the case?

Use the Chuck Norris technique and roundhouse kick the loaded cartridge so hard that it goes back in time, to a point before it was loaded.

Or, take the reliable suggestions above re: pullers. Y'know, either way.

rock the bullet back and forth with plyers. It will bugger the case, but it will definately remove the bullet from the case.

look at the entry- it's a 25 auto, not a 22- centre fire,and i'm not sure they make a bullet puller for something that small- the one i have seems to be a sloppy fit for even a 9mm head
 
RCBS inertia puller with the right collet. ...or if you have the right dyes you can secure the case and wiggle off the bullet with pliers and save the case. I normally chuck em out, considering time and money spent.

...or Chuck could just stare at it and it will leap out of the cartridge and run away screaming.
 
I have a spent .45 casing and a perfect 45 bullet, I put the two back together and I wanted to drill a hole through the casing so I could put it onto my key chain. The problem is this though, would I attract any unwanted attention by having ammunition on my key chain even though you can clearly see the primer has been punched? I had a bad incident a couple years back that involved a similar idea. I had bought a rifle keychain when I was in the Somme and I wore it attached to my belt loops on my pants. I kinda forgot it was there and when I went through Amsterdam Airport security I got myself into some trouble (search and all that jazz) before I was let through. I know going through airport security with a spent casing is a little more extreme then walking down a street but I would like to avoid anymore incidents like this. Is it really worth my time to make this key chain addition?
 
Some cartridges have a sealant that securely holds the bullet in the case & also waterproofs it .

What I have heard helps to get them apart is to push in the bullet a little bit into the case to break the the seal then pull it.
 
Not the same, and not gonna work if you don't have a gun for it. But last time at the range when I was putting some .451" holes in my recycle bin, after I was done, there was kind of a ditch dug into the ground, behind the bin, from the bullets. I kicked my foot around a bit in there, and found about 5-6 of the bullets I had put through. I was surprised at how little the rifling actually marked the bullets. I plan on putting them back into a case with a spent primer and making a keychain or something.
 
the "easy" way to do that is with an eyebolt- just drill and tap like you would normally for any hole( add the nut if you don't want it to come out- and use something like a lee loader to seat the bullet, but use the decapping base to accomdate the eyebolt- if you want to go conventional,just decap, resize, and seat the bullet in the normal way and use an eyebolt just a little bigger than the primer cup so you get the full grip of the head, and not just the thin area in the cup

I think you have answered your own question.

I reload anyway, I'll just use one of my cases that still looks ok, but doesn't pass inspection for another full go round. I think I'll drill through the side, so I get to keep my Glock Striker mark on the primer ;)
