I use the Hornady puller die . You can get different size collets and it easy to use

P & D has them in Edmonton.
I used amazon.ca, got it within a week. I would go with a hornady camlock tho personally.
The RCBS one leaves a groove on 175 SMK's. I haven't figured out how not to leave the groove; it either slips out and makes even more mess of the jacket, or it makes a big groove into it.
I fairly certain it's due to over tightening the collet. the hornady one you can't really over tighten when set up as it relies on lever action, rather than a screw. The hornady one would be more repeatable than RCBS.

^^^^ yes the cam lock is the one I have and does not mark the bullets

For only 60 rounds, I'd just use the inertia puller. Place a small rubber washer in the nose of the hammer if you are worried about bullet deformation. The powder can be collected and reused in the empty case. My collet puller almost always leaves marks.
RCBS here and I'm sad to sorry to say I have used it on around 20 occasions or so. But it does work nicely for sure. Now I'm not saying it doesn't leave a mark but it is very slight and I mean very slight. More like a small scratch. I would not be with out one. Same I don't think I would like a kinetic puller. So simple with a pull of the press handle. Check out some u-tube vids and see what you think.

yep did this (you tube) I can knock them out with my inertia puller(But since I know and marked the charges on the box) and they are safe charges with the correct weight of bullet(That I have)
I think I don't want the powder out of the cases(just a mess that will make)Lots of brass handy and powder lol ...Thanks guys , I now know what I need to buy and the kind I want
Extra happy...
there was one In stock in GP.
guy on the phone did not look or ask anywhere near hard enough.
I went to town and found it on the shelf myself. ...

now that I am home I find out that I managed to find only 2 of the 3 pieces that are needed to use this thing.
Got the clamp toggle #050095 and the #7 collet
Who knew I needed a main body....?
Part number 322150
Hope I can find that on the shelf like I found the rest

So after a little research you got the Hornady. I thought it was just a 2 piece set up. The collet and the toggle body. I didn't realize it was 3 separate parts. After you get it all geared up tell us what you think would ya skneub?
Congrats on the purchase.

I sure will man.
I hope they have the other part on the shelf
when I called I give them the wrong part number lol it should be 392150 ..
Opps
I use the inertia puller but instead of the three goofy pieces I use a shell holder. I put an ear plug in the bottom, tighten the cap on the shell holder and I get them out with zero damage. A lot quicker than using the three little rings. Merry Christmas and happy bullet pulling.

++ 1 That's what I use as well works great and does not damage the bullet

Yes they are marked up a bit, some of them anyhow.
so far got 40 some out...
2-3 I buggered up while learning how to do this and pinched the case even tighter (I will use a mini pipe cutter on these to save the powder and primers lol)
