FORSTER - Standard Bullet Puller

I began reloading in 1967, using my Dad's reloading press and supplies. He was a big fan of Herter's products, which was a major mail order company in the 1950's through the 70's. I still have his reloading equipment and use it often. One item I use is a bullet puller marked "Herter's" but it is identical to this Forster made puller. In fact, I suspect that Forster made them for Herter's. The Forster Collets fit my Herter's bullet puller and work fine. Amazing that this tool has remained unchanged and so useful for over 50 years!

Needed to pull 80 .308 Win. rounds. Collets were on back order for the Hornady Puller I already own, so I went with the Forster, which was less money, and had .308 collets in stock. Once a "feel" for the tool was established, I was able to pull four bullets per minute with two bullets out of 80 being marked by the collet. The other 78 were spotless, and reusable. This a nice tool, and a bargain besides.
