Overview

Designed for reloading work at the bench, this tool provides a straightforward way to remove bullets using a press. It clamps onto the bullet and lets you pull it free with a simple handle motion, making it a practical choice for rifle cartridge disassembly. It is intended for rifle cartridges only and should not be used with pistol cartridges. Collets are required and sold separately, so setup depends on having the correct size on hand.
