Thread: Pulled projectiles

Hi Team

I am going to pull a dozen ELDM from loads/cases now superseded by further load development. Its RL26 so keen to recover it. My question is will the pulled projectiles perform any worse than new ones straight out of the box?

Cheers

I've pulled heaps no difference if undamaged

Yep, major damage, use them for finishers or fowler's.
Minor damage, no issue. They get swaged at 2500fps or more.

Thanks guys

If using a hammer type puller, put a patch or ear plug into the end and you wont damage the tips.

No problem reusing pulled bullets. As above, they must be undamaged.
I pulled some 270 cal ELD-X 130 gn bullets once that suffered damage wanted to see how they shot compared to perfect bullets. All the damaged ones shot erratically so now anything hurt while pulling goes into the fouler pile.

Cheers I use the hornady collet type that goes in your press and doesn’t damage them.

They will be fine.
