I just got my press all set up and experienced a few primers that did not seat all the way. They still stick out a bit and aren't really suitable (safe) to fire.
I went out and bought the RCBS Pow'r Pull Bullet puller (hammer style).
You cannot read the instructions until after you open the package. There is a warning saying, "Do not use this bullet puller to disassemble ANY cartridge with a high primer. Use the T CBS collet type bullet puller for any ammunition with high primers."
I've never heard that term before but I presume that a "high" primer is one that has not seated all the way, such as the ones I had planned to disassemble.
So, what is the real danger with using a hammer style bullet puller with a high primer? I honestly don't see any possible danger there. And how does a collet style bullet puller work? What does it do to make the process safer?
