I've got both. If only doing a couple I use the inertia puller. More than a couple, I get the collet puller out.
The collet puller is quicker once you're underway.

@NRT i love my rcbs collet puller. it will last forever. definitely recommend it. I think the hammer style pullers can break. i pulled some really old 260 rounds and it did it really well. The case is still unright so you can tip the powder out when you want in a controlled mannor.

The hammer is the cheapest Specialist tool
It’s an Inertia method the round is clamped in a collet inside the hammer and you smack the hammer on something the hammer stops and because the projectile is heavy it keeps moving down and after a couple of hits fall’s out it doesn’t damage the projectile so that can be reloaded it’s Universal for caliber aswell down side is it can be quite an effort if you have a lot of rounds to do
It’s all good for 1 or 2 or even a group of 5



The collet method is the best way but also a much more expensive tool
Once you have the tool (a die that fits in your press)
The round is fed into the die the collet grabs hold of the projectile and pulls it out
Alot quicker and less effort than the hammer
Down side is the collets that fit inside the die are Calibre specific so you need a collet for each caliber you load for
The die itself is universal)

The simplest method is to put the round in the press rase the ram and grab the projectile with a pair of vice grips
Lower the ram the grips will bottom out on the top of the press and pull the bullet
The down side is you lose the projectile gets damaged
Not the end of the world for one or two rounds but if you have a major issue and need to pull a few it gets pricey at $1 a bullet

Plus side us you probably have a pair of grips lying arround
