Thread: Thanks to Wolf, got a chance to use my new bullet puller.

Thanks to Wolf, got a chance to use my new bullet puller.

It's either my LCP or Wolf small pistol primers. I think its the Wolf primers. Many times I pulled the trigger and nothing happened.

I removed the round looked at the primer, saw a dent. Sometimes, when I put the round back in and puller the trigger, it fired. That's why I think I got some lousy Wolf primers.

So, I got out my brand new, Hornady Cam Lock bullet puller and, after fiddling with it, pulled 200 bullets from my other .380 reloads, knocked out the Wolf primers and easily captured the powder. Didn't take no time at all.

Then, I re-primed the cases with Federal small pistol primers and reloaded them.

Now, I'm gonna see if the Federal Primers fire - every time. The Federals weren't my first choice, but I couldn't find any CCIs.

But, I sure was happy with the Cam Lock Puller. I don't want to even think about using my hammer puller to pull 200 bullets.

Here's what it looks like:

You have to buy the collets separately, but obviously, the collet I used to pull the .380 bullets will also work with 9mm, 38 and 357.

PS - this is the first time Wolf primers have given me any trouble. I use 'em in my 9mm, 357 and 40 SW reloads, and have had no problems - knock on wood.

I thought Wolf primers where pretty good. I think I'll stick to Federal and CCI.

we just got 21000 I hope it isn't the primers

Might possibly be small rifle primers packaged as small pistol. I loaded up some 38spl a couple weeks ago and accidentally got my small rifle primers in the mix. The S&W won't pop the primers with two hits but the Winny94' in 357 sends them down range. guess I have 200 rds of dedicated rifle 38s.

Just ordered a Sinclair Primer Pocket Uniformer for small pistol/rifle primer pockets. That should help.
