Adding length to OAL
I have reloads that have the bullets seated to deep, how do you guys pull the bullet slightly back out?
|
I bought one of those hammer type pullers, I havn't used it yet.
I have around a half dozen rounds I seated to deep to pull apart next session. |
I use a hammer puller. Get the bullet started moving, make sure your seater die is set properly, and have at it.....

I use a kinetic hammer too. But I never have good luck doing it. Seems those loads I pull out has less neck tension or something and doesn't shoot the same as if I loaded it that same COL.

Ditto, never had good luck with accuracy just pulling bullets a bit. I'd rather pull them dump the powder, then remove the decapping pin from the sizer die and resize and reload.

Thanks, sounds like I need to dump, resize and reload.

never got that in-depth into it pa, but in my 7mm STW the ES went from single didgets to almost 200 fps. so just assumed it was a neck tension thing.

Yeah....That's interesting. With that kind of spread it's not the runout problem I kinda thought it may be. When you and bc were saying they didn't shoot as well, I wondered if the hammer was causing the bullet to come out at a bit of an arc or angle and creating excessive runout.....Thanks.....
