bullet puller question
Is it common for your bullets to flatten the tips when they are pulled with a inertia bullet puller? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Is there a sponge or pad of some sort in there? Mine has a little pad that looks like a foam earplug. No damage.

A foam earplug is a GREAT idea!

RE: bullet puller question
Mine came with a piece of rubber in the bottom, but it still messed up the lead tip bullets, an earplug would be a great idea, but I now use poly tip bullets exclusively so I dont have that problem. Just a caution, I posted on here about 6 months ago, I pulled a bullet that I had a primer in, but no powder, and the primer went off!! I have pulled probably 100 rnds in my life and never had that happen before. I am not trying to scare you just informing you about what happened to me, I dont know what would have happened if there was powder in it! Just a word of caution, trying to help.

Thanks for the info. I put a thick piece of cloth in it and it still mushroomed a little. Pretty scary about that primer going off. Was it seated good?

I usually hit it pretty hard the first one or two raps, and then see if the bullet has moved, and how much. Once the bullet starts moveing, i use light taps untill it's out, with no or nearly no damage at all.

DM, good post. I also learned not to simply whale away until the bullet came flying out, deforming the tip. One or two whacks, take a look, and rap lighter until the bullet just about falls out. After a while you learn how to do it without components flying around.
