Needing a RCBS bullet puller collet cal .35....

[Mikej]

Yup, just need to borrow one if someone is fairy close to NE potland has one they'd let me use. I've only got 35 rounds to pull. Just trying not to be forced to buy one, or use the kinetic puller.

Mike, I have a Hornady cam-lok puller with a .35 collet. You're welcome to borrow it.

I appreciate that, really! Rethinking, it sounds kinda dumb to go through all that for 35 rounds.
The reason I'm doing this is not because of a dangerous mistake. The powder charge is correct. It's just that the charge is really up there and kicks like a mule and is loud as hell, even in the 16" Winchester lever gun. (pushing 2,000fps.) And really smacked my hand shooting in a 6" revolver. I feel kind of dumb loading from only one source, rather than looking at others. I could have loaded well under 20 grs of H110. I'm NOT hunting with the GD thing for hell's sake!

If @P7M13 and you can't meet up I think I have one you could use. How close is "fairy" close to Potland though?

Use the puthy pad!!


Really - between us, we'll spend close to a box of bullets in gas.

You got a copper tube flaring tool ?

If so the split clamp part makes a good bullet gripper to pull bullets!

OK, this is ghetto.
Take a Channellock plier or ViseGrip and tape up the jaws with electrical tape.
Run the cartridge up into the die void, grab the bullet and then lower the ram.
A Hornady L-N-L bushing installed would be a plus to protect the press threads.

I only laughed because I've done that too.

It's NOT because of recoil in the rifle. LOL As loud as they are coupled with the recoil in the revolver, there's just no need to be running those guns to those limits.
And I DO use that puthy pad when I'm going through a couple boxes in The Garand.

That is ghetto. Butt-hey, I've done such things too. These rounds are too pretty to risk marring up anything. I just went at 'em with the kinetic puller. I'll re-flare them and drop the charge down to, maybe, 14grains of H-110.

Nothing funny about it - it works great - however regular pliers with the 'half moon' serrated cut outs below the standard jaws work pretty well for this.

Yay for ghetto solutions !
There are times when they save the day.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I have one for you. Convo me.

H110 is one powder where you can't just drop below published data.. it behaves erratically if reduced beyond a certain point.

Ditto this. Just like WW 296 these powders have a narrow range of weight and it cannot be lower than the lowest charge shown in the data.

20 grains seems like a lot - even if it is the published data. I used to load 16 grains of 296 in .357 and they shot well in my Winchester trapper however they did not have excessive recoil or muzzle blast. They also shot well in my Henry however I have a can of 296 collecting dust as I don't need to load anywhere near those velocities and load only 'moderate' loads of 7 grains of Unique to shoot them both in my S & W Mod 66 and Henry.

I've got this problem solved Jim. The kinetic puller comes to the recue again!
Thank you anyway.

THIS I am aware of and understand. Seemed kind of weird to me. There's published data with this powder using from 13 grains to 22 grains. With compression above 20. That's quite a spread.
