Bullet pulling with the 338 Lapua

[Silverbullet2]

Guy's,

I need to pull a bullet from a 338 Lapua, and the case will not fit into my knetic bullet puller. I was thinking I could hog out the inside of the puller, but the collet will not work either. So, is there a knetic bullet puller that will work with this caliber? Thanks, Jason

I have a Lyman puller that came with two collets, the larger of which does 338LM just fine.

+1 on the Lyman puller - its big enough for the 338 - others are not (RCBS & Midway)

I needed a stopgap so sanded out my RCBS puller and used a .338 shell holder to hold the case, works well for occasional use.

I just want to add Frankford Arsenal is too small for the 338LM casing to go through. However, I can collet the bullet and take 5 hits and it will loosen the bullet up to pull out by hand. After watching videos it seems the entire casing should fall in..Not going to happen on 338.

Collet pullers are not that expensive and work very quickly.
