Grip-N-Pull (bullet puller pliers)
Does anyone has some experiences with the “Grip-N-Pull” (bullet pulling) pliers? The last couple months I see more and more about them at sites and gun/reloading magazines.
I do have some serious concerns if these pliers can handle the “heavy roll crimped” revolver rounds. In fact I doubt it if they are up to the task, but perhaps I’m mistaken.
Currently I use 4 systems, the RCBS and Hornady press mounted systems, the good old bullet puller hammer and the Davidson (Sinclair) pliers. These new Grip-N-Pull pliers are much like the Davidson. The drawback of the Davidson system is that if a is bullet seated with a stiff crimp it won’t work (the pliers have not enough grip). The huge plus of the Davidson pliers is that with regular/tapered seated bullets it works tremendously fast, simple and no fumbling or setting up for the correct collet.

The reason that I’m asking about it is that bullets seated with a heavy roll crimp are sometimes very hard to remove. I have experienced damaged bullets (walls and tips), ripped case walls, ripped bases and rims while the bullet is still at it’s place. And hammering them out is sometimes a waist of time and labour, when (bad) luck will have it one might damage the plastic in the process ...... I have heavy crimped .357 and .44 Magnum loads that won’t let go of the bullet no matter what, unless one fires it from a gun.
It’s for the first time that I see these bullet pulling pliers for pistol/revolver cartridges. They don’t come cheap (not even including the high international shipping costs) and before I again waist money on a system that can’t handle heavy crimped/seated bullets.
A couple days ago I send the man who produces these pliers an email about my concerns but as up today he did not replied me. I hope one of you have some experience with these pliers.

But my Tiger tank will be there pull the hard ones.
My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
