Forster Bullet Pulling Die Review
As I wrote about a few weeks ago, my AR15 .300 Blackout pistol ran great, but my handloaded ammunition did not.
It turns out that the Lyman Accutrimmer I was using increasingly fell out of adjustment. Most .300 reloaders stop at 1.360″ brass length, and folks running AR15s will trim as short at 1.355″ (which I consider my shortest length). The Accutrimmer was trimming cases down to 1.343″ which is waaaay too short.
Anyway, I did not check the cases every 20 – 30 as I should have. It was my fault for depending on a tool. As a result I needed to pullĀ a lot of loaded ammunition.
Like, a lot.
I had a $15 kinetic bullet puller. This is basically a plastic hammer where you screw a loaded round into one end and bang the shit out of the other end. It’s loud, messy and time consuming.
For $27 from our good friends at Brownells I purchased the Forster Bullet Puller with a .308 caliber collet. After tinkering with the initial set up (I had to tighten the puller die more than I am accustomed to with other dies) the Forster worked a treat and I was making my way through my bum rounds in no time.

Bummer that you need to pull those, but at least you can salvage the bullets and powder.
Out of curiosity, did you consider getting the Hornady cam-lock bullet puller?

I did, but in reading some reviews on the Internet the Forster seemed to get better reviews for pulling .308 caliber bullets.
I have had really good luck with the Worlds Finest Trimmer for my 300BLK brass.

I purchased the WFT after my problems with the Accumtrimmer and I wish I would have bought it a LONG time ago. It isn’t 100% dead on every time but it’s within my acceptable margins and is way faster and easier on the arms.
