I have acquired a few boxes of old 380's and would like to pull the bullets, clean and reload. The Dillon "hammer type" puller I have is useless. Any suggestions?
Suggestion: Figure out why your Dillon puller is "useless" and correct that.
I won't be without my kinetic puller. Not arguing that it's the finest tool for pulling 200 rounds... but I can put 10 of them quick and easy, and I can pull 100 or more if I spread it out.
But I agree with HiBC. If they are factory loads from a known maker, it doesn't matter how old it is... I'd shoot them.
