	I use this method and started using it long before Boats did. I showed George Schoyen how to do it, in Denver, in 1903. Now that there's so much agreement with what is actually MY method, I'll re-visit it-something must be wrong if those other guys use it. joe b. boats wrote on Jun 26^th, 2013 at 10:05pm: I put them in my bench mounted loading press no die. Raise the ram until the bullet is over the presses top. Grab the bullet just in front of the case mouth with a pair of pliers then lower the ram., Pulls right out under control no slams. Ruins the bullet but you can throw them back in the lead pot. Boats

	I use the pliers trick also, it's simple, cheap, quick and effective, all good things. I vote for the Jamison brass also. Buffalo Arms supposedly has lots of it is stock. My experiences with Bertram were not good and I'll never buy any of it again.

	i have used both methods and the "pliers" way is best but i use dikes(aka side cutters) instead of pliers. you get positive bite that way the inertia method is best using a small cushion of styrofoam in the puller body if you want to save the bullet fwiw

	I use end cutting pliers. Very destructive for the bullets but they never lose their bite: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Chris.

I need to pulled the bullets before I split anymore of the cases so I can attempt to do it the right way. I have one of thos bullet pullers that looks like a hammer,. I used it years ago on some 45-70 with no problem., but these silly little rounds dont want to letloose the slug with what SEEMS like ample force. At this point, I am scared. Has anyone ever heard of someone lighting off a round in one of these things? I know it is unlikely, but the thing worries me. Do some rounds take more whack than one might expect? Am I just paranoid? How hard shouldmi smack??!! My shooting partner was pulling bullets using the inertia puller and had a primer go off but the powder did not ignite. If he had been pulling a cartridge loaded with black powder the results could have been much different. I now use collet pullers or the plier method already mentioned.

	Hey Joe; Will the 'traditional' method work with dentures, or would this be considered 'modern'? Cary

	Ah! More research is needed in this area. Will look into it. Lets see, when were dentures patented? Hmm............ Joe.

	My teeth havent recovered from the n-ssa yet! I am going to give boats method a try. Webb, You may be right, but I am going to try it. I already have the brass, have had it for a long long time. I have some much better stuff given to me by a good shooting buddy who haunts this forum, so I will have that stuff, probably for years if I do my part.

	Washington never had wooden teeth. Myth. Sorry to shatter that one. Your third grade teacher was wrong. He did have dentures made of ivory, animal teeth, and even human teeth. I don't think I want to know about tooth donors.

It sounds like you may be planning on annealing it again. If you overheated to a cherry red the brass is ruined anyway. Concerning bullet pulling methods, I've used all three methods mentioned to pull bullets, RCBS puller in a press, hammer inertia type and pliers (side cutters) in a press. The latter was by far the fastest. BTW, I’ve always referred to wire cutters or side cutters as dikes or dykes, but neither may be acceptable terms these days. Wayne

	Third hand I can't confirm it. 4 F draft status came during the Civil War. If the draftee was missing 4 Front teeth he was exempt, could not bite off the paper end of a Minne ball cartridge. Might apply to pulling bullets who knows Boats

	They always have been and always will be "dykes". I love a good pair of dykes. Kleins. I did not get it red hot, I let it air cool, made it worse. I am usually right there with the front of the pack denouncing bertram, but, I had these before I was aware. Some have claimed success after some proper working. I may not achieve that, but I may. I just want to breach seat with them. If it doesnt work, then I know and to the scrap bucket they go.
