Re: Pulling bullets

I got a bunch of .45-120 Sharps rounds once, which I wanted for the brass. No way I was going to risk shooting a case with that much volume and unknown powder and charge in them! Problem was that my kinetic puller wasn't long enough for these 3.25" cases. So I made one out of pipe. This worked ...

If Trumps wants to put it away, he'll ask Tulsi first. The balance she'd pull for that ticket would be unreal. She hasn't been shy about dropping the hint that she'd serve if asked.
