so i have a hammer type bullet puller. seated some 9mm test loads about 0.025 to 0.50 too deep depending on the manual. I don't feel comfortable shooting them as they are new powders I have not worked with before.
I do have a hammer bullet puller, it does not seem to work.... I have tried it 4 times total now, with factory 223s, my handloaded 223s, and now these 9mm bullets but cannot seem to get them to budge, even with, what i considered to be, excessive ang over aggressive hammering. I'm talking full swings, 20-30 hits.
in the past with longer cartridges like 223 and 30-06 i would just run the bullet up through the press, grabed it from the side with pliers and lower the ram. 9mm is too short for that, im not reaching over the top to grab it.
Looked at bullet pullers, but at 30 for the puller, and 15 each for the collets it seems so expensive. I have only had to pull maybe 3-4 bullets previously in my, over 10yrs or reloading....
