experimented with some new loads and got one much much better than previous efforts.
Want to pull the 30 or so loaded rounds but the short fat cases dont fit in my kinetic bullet puller. Anyone in Melbourne got a puller they could lend me that fits fatties!
I can pull them with the press and a pair of pliers but I like these 165gn SSTs and would like to use them again if possible.

Hey trevort,
As you seem to be constantly reloading and making up loads why don't you invest in a Hornady Cam - Lock Puller.
The actual die is about $30 then each collet is about $15 (from memory). It is so much more efficient than than using the bloody hammer!
Once you get familiar with the amount of tension needed to pull the bullet you could easily pull apart hundreds an hour.
Just my thoughts, money is money though and I know I never seem to have enough

well I dont reckon I will need it again for the wsm and the kinetic works well for the other rounds ( I dont use it too much you know!)
Will have to consider spending the $$$. I could just pull the bloody things with the pliers and buy another box of projies!

Trevor,
I have a collet puller that will do the job,
for the cost of postage, I'll mail it down to you, just send it back when you're done with it.
PM me.

The Quinetics Corp. kinetic puller will work on WSM's . I have one and have used on my 7mm WSM .

Sorry to drag up an old thread but did you get it sorted out trevort?
I now have the 30 cal collet for my cam lock puller so can help you out if needed.

thought for the hassle of having someone post one and me send it back again i might as well buy one. Added a cam lock puller to my last Sinclair order. $18 US and $8.75 (I think) for the collet.
Should be here with some other toys mid week!
Thanks again to those who offered to help
