Title: Pulled Bullets?
Post by: gunman1911 on April 09, 2008, 03:21:39 PM

I have been reloading for almost 25 years now and have never had purchased "pulled bullets" before. I see these in Shotgun News  and wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with "pulled bullets" before . Are they worth the buy, is there any marks on them that would affect how they perform, or just any reason not to buy them? ???

The only thing I know about them is that is the way Midway USA pretty much started.

He bought some old ammo and then used it to make another caliber or some such by pulling them.

I tried to get some from Mid-Way. 3 days before the sale started they were sold out.
Must have cost them more for the ad then what they made on them OR was just a BIG COME COME ON!

I never noticed any marks on the few I have pulled, over the years. And I re-used them. Of course I used a taper crimp. Maybe a roll crimped bullet would be different?
