Default Forster Collet Style Bullet Puller

can these be used on non-jacketed bullets?

The RCBS collet puller says for jecketed bullets only. I was wondering if the foster could be used on non-jacketed bullets.

Thanks for any info

I use a similar collet style puller (Hornady cam-lock) and it works fine on lead bullets.

I use my RCBS collet pullers on both jacketed and lead without any problem. I also use a kinetic bullet puller, it can be used for anything!

Looks like the forster is cheaper than RCBS on both the die and the collets.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

thanks for the replies

I was wanting to get the RCBS only because all of my other equipment is RCBS. thanks for letting me know it will work on non-jacjeted rounds also.

I purchased the RCBS Bullet Puller and it doesn't work on a lot of lead bullets. It's advertising even indicates it is primarily for jacketed bullets. Buy at your own risk!!!
