IMHO,once you load a bullet,it is not worth pulling and to use over!
Be it kinetic,collet[really damages them]or a pair of pliers[same as a collet puller].
The powder and the case,of course,is still good,but the bullet won't be like new?They crush,bend and get scared up!These are ok for fire forming,but, for me,thats it. The few times i have pulled bullets,they went into the trash.
What are your thoughts on this????

I did not find that the inertiatype puller damaged the bullets, but the collet type does, and of course the pliers ruin them totally.

I use a collet type puller and the pulled bullets usually are not damaged.I use them for practise rounds and they shoot aboutas well as new bullets.

Same here...

Once you learn how to use an inertia puller you will get no or "very little" damage to the bullet. It just takes some practise.

When you rap it you can feel if the bullet moved any, then tap lightly untill it comes out. Yes, i can do it without damageing the bullets.

Some guys put a wad of tissue inside to help cushion the bullet too.

As for reuseing the bullet. It all depends on what bullet, and what i was going to use it on. So, for me it's sometimes yes, sometimes no...

I use an ear plug.......you know one of the "classic" brand that is completely round. It fits right in to the bottom and lets the bullet fall right in without damaging lead tips. After about 50 bullets you need to replace it though.
