Hey, just wondering if anyone that has broken their rcbs hammer type bullet puller have the nut just laying around still intact? I broke mine and thought I would try here before picking up something new. cheerse5fbb9fb-e936-41c4-b8ab-25a892fedd35.jpg

haven't used one foor probably 30 yrs or so. Broke two of them and didn't bother buying another one. I may have been too hard on them, whacking them on a cement floor, but, whacking them on a 2x4 wasn't doing the job for me. What I didn't do back then, was make sure I'd broke the coldweld by breaking it, by seating them a bit deeper, enough to break that weld, maybe .010 or so. I don't really need one anymore, may have been useful with cast bullets, but, wasn't about to run out and grab one for just that. I can see their usefulness for that and stuff like round nose pistol bullets, or stuff seated too short for a collet puller to grasp, haven't had a need for it in a long time.
 
I too have broken the "nut" on a RCBS kinetic bullet puller.
Just bought a new one and carried on.
A tip for those getting frustrated whacking these on a 2X4. Get a 2X4 about two feet long and strike the puller on the end of the 2X4.
Works even better with a 4X4 and length is your personal preference.
 
I don’t have the rcbs one but a blue one I got on Azon and I haven’t got it to work ( didn’t want to whack it any harder than I was already) so I got one that goes in my press. You can have the blue one, we could split shipping if you like, I’m in AB so shouldn’t be much. PM me if you’re interested.
