I have 200 rounds of 7MM Rem Mag bullets to pull. After trying my RCBS inertia puller, I realized that I need to find a better way to accomplish this miserable task. Can anyone recommend a puller that will not damage bullets, is a little quicker and less dangerous. I have used my RCBS inertia puller many times on pistol ammo, but it’s not faring well with my 7MM loads.
I have pulled many belted magnum rounds with the RCBS

bullet puller. Roll up a ball of toilet tissue and push it down in the bottom of the bullet puller. That way the noses of the bullets don't get mashed. There is really no way that round can ignite on you.So there is no danger in it. There are other ways but they damage the bullet. I have used an RCBS since the early 70s.
I use a ear plug to cushion bullet

I used to use the inertia puller with newsprint squished in the Bottom to prevent bullet nose damage. It worked fine. I still use it for one off pulls. For big pulling jobs like yours of 200 cartridges, pounding hundreds of times will suck. I now use the Hornady Cam Lock puller. It would be much faster. You can adjust the tension on the collet so it does not mar your bullets. Even if a tiny mark I have not found it to be detrimental to accuracy. Does not take long to setup and adjust.. you will need the puller and correct collet for your diameter bullet. It is about $25 for the puller and $8 for Collet pullers. I find it works very well.

I have been researching the Hornady Cam Lock puller and think l may give it a try. I don’t think I want to swing the RCBS inertia puller for 200 rounds of 7MM Mag. Thanks for the info.
I second the Hornady puller. Works great

didn't always work for me. If the bullet began to taper down right at the case mouth I had to put extra torque on it to hold the tapered bullet and it gouged the bullet. On bullets that had some space ahead of the case before they started tapering down, it worked fine. I got frustrated and went back to the RCBS inertia puller. Just my 2¢ worth.
I have a couple of rounds to pull, so I will try

Called Grip n pull.
They are pretty quick and work pretty well on jacketed bullets, ( not used them on many cast lead bullets). However you may get a workout for your grip on some bullets.
