Re-using pulled bullets.

rquack · Mar 23, 2008

Does anyone have any experience re-using pulled bullets???? I use an RCBS collet type of bullet puller and was wondering how badly using this bullet puller might mess up a bullet?? they tend to look good after being pulled, but I didn't know if this might affect their concentricity and balance and thus, POI at a given range. Has anyone ever checked this??? Or can anyone offer any words of wisdom on what I might expect if I use pulled bullets??? Personally, I've never fired any so I have no experience.

I've also pulled bullets and reused them without any problems.

I have used the "hammer inertia" style for yrs without issue. Fired many a pulled bullet with no issues.

Shot some pulled bullets this weekend. No problems. Can't say I've ever had any with them.

Thanks for your replies and for relating your experiences. It sounds like I can just go ahead and shoot em up. I appreciate everyone on the forum sharing their experiences. rquack

I have reused literally thousands of them with no issues. I also have the RCBS type puller.
