Sometimes You Have To Take Things Apart.
You never know when you have to pull a bullet. This bullet puller gets the job done. I’m able to pull the bullet without any deformations to it and reuse it.

Couldn't be better.
No complaints, and it's SO much faster and easier than those messy inertial pullers. Does it rotate in the press when you turn the collet clamp? Put a bit of lead shot under the brass set screw, turn it tight, and tighten the puller into your press a bit more. Does it scratch your bullets? Only if the collet is too tight or too lose--it made no marks on my 30 caliber round nose bullets. Too hard to tighten? Put a little grease on the collet and threads. Seriously, this tool works just as it should, every time.

No powder spills
PRO: If the right collet is used, it works excellent. I can only attest to 38, 9mm, and 45 acp. No more powder spills or pounding on the ground like the kinetic pullers. It is build solid. Con: you may have to have a single stage press to use it unless you take off a die from you progressive to use it.
Works great
Works great. Once it is adjusted properly, very simple to use. Using to pull loads that were too light and didnt cycle properly. Save those precious 9mm! Brownells was the only place that had the .35 caliber collet in stock.
quality product
easy to adjust and use. effective minimal or no marks on pulled bullets. wish the handle wasn't fixed, but a minor complaint, which does not take away from it's effectiveness or quality. MUCH easier then inertia puller
Great Value
The RCBS bullet puller is a good solution to pulling bullets using your existing single stage press. It is well made with a decent finish and solid steel parts. The collets are well made and have a decent amount of steel after the slits to give them good heft and durability.
Works Great
I love this puller. It works great, prevents damage, and won't break off after smacking it. I broke 3 different inertia pullers and spent the money on this. The one complaint I have is the collet I have, 30 cal, is really tight and you have to hold down the top and force the bullet in. Once it's in, cranked down, it won't go anywhere. The other bad side is you cannot remove the bullet without pliers or sticking back inside the case a tad, then removing it by hand. You can slip it over the ogive and crank it down, and that will work, but anything crimped, or with tight neck tension, it won't work that way as it will slide off. However, the perk to his is that I am able to pull 7mm (.284), 270 (.277), 6.5 (.264) bullets with this same collet after cranking it down all the way. I can't complain about that as other that .22 cal, I don't have many other calibers! I would definitely buy again, but I would try to loosen up the tension a little bit if possible.
Threw the plastic hammer away!
As others have said, I also dreaded pulling bullets with the hammer style kinetic puller. And I do alot of reloading late at night. So the noise was a stopping point. I kinda thought this was gimmicky reading descriptions but I jumped in. Got the collets for .45, 22, and 30. Very impressed! So much quicker, no bullet damage. And powder stays in the case neatly. It even pulled some bullets that were seated way to deep and it pulled em. Using copper plated bullets in 45 this did not even expose lead. I actually have a new test with the help of this to check crimp neck tension. Set my crimp and pull bullet measure to make sure there is no swaging or damage. Love these tools that really help more tedious processes of reloading.
Don't Delay This Purchase
I used my fathers old 1970 hammer puller for years only because it was all I knew. On a whim I spent the money on this puller and my only complaint was how mad I was that I waited 6 years to get it. It works like a charm, does not damage bullets like the mentioned 1970 hammer. Before I had this in my life I would dread the thought of pulling bullets from some test loads if they didnt shoot good. Now, I can crank out pulls in Seconds.
