Re think it & get a collet die.
That's the one I meant *
My describing things is at least consistent in letting me down
I have the rcbs FL die, that decaps for me...
Unless I'm again missing something?
I did see that one , is it much better than the rcbs offering?
I originally thought you were internding to buy one of those kiddie toy hammers, my bad
I have both the Lee and the RCBS collet pullers, Lee slightly easier to manipulate, as you can get very good at applying just the right amount of pull down pressure, to not leave the slightest mark on the bullet.

I've been using the RCBS collet bullet puller for years. Not a lot though as pulling bullets is not part of my regular reloading routine - luckily
.
While it works very well I can imagine that the Hornady cam lock puller might be easier to use as you can preset the tension of the collet on the bullet. If I were you I'd give the Hornady tool a try.

Lee do not make a bullet puller AFAIK. You must be thinking of something else.I originally thought you were internding to buy one of those kiddie toy hammers, my bad

Hammers are actually quite useful, if you haven't completely messed up and have many many rounds to disassemble. They don't damage the bullet either, if you pad the cavity with e.g. a foam earplug. Never felt the need to splash out on a collet style puller die.
Substitute Hornady for LEE
& those hammers are still cavemen toys.

I use one. Brilliant tool. Will stop you waking the neighbours up like those kinetic hammers
Thanks for dropping by though, I am truly graced by your presence.
I think even a caveman could work out how to use one effectively. They are a doddle, once you learn how to smack them against a suitable substrate. Doesn't even require style or panache, though that helps.
Perhaps you are a bit limp-wristed, Wouldn't surprise me.
My wrists are fully functional thank you, how long did it take you to work out the hammer toy?
I've had the RCBS unit with a full set of collets for decades. Works fine. Can't speak for the Hornady as I've never used one. There are some times when you may have a bullet seated too deep to grab with the collet closer, in which case, the inertia puller is the ticket. ~Muir
