Thread: Pulled Projectiles - still useful?

Just pulled a good chunk of bergers and eldx using the old polygrips and reverse press action.

They have a few lines in them above seating depth from the teeth of the polygrips.

I assume they are still sweet for load dev and sighting in?

Go for it.

Oh dear lord...

And I used to think Toby was scary when it came to reloading...

Have pulled and re loaded eldx before and never had any issues, in fact the last red I shot at 450 yards was with a pulled projectile that had some damage to the polymer tip and no decernable difference noticed, and yes we shot a few groups on paper to check before using them for hunting

Load dev for what Gibo? Have you reinvested yet?

Get a hornady collet bullet puller. Makes a near faultless job of pulling bullets for reuse.

That's the shiz for pulling projies.

More shooting and less pulling would be my advice @Gibo.

Good advice

sub hundy game loads...no problem ,wouldnt want to trust something with a ding in it at 350...but at 35,jobs done.

Most scratches on the side are most likely put in the projectiles when seating rather than pulling anyway.

Not polygrip scratches! How are you seating yours?

@Gibo I have a proper collet bullet puller that does 6.5 and a few other cals. Could be a handy investment at $50
