I switched over to a collet puller. Pulling apart a batch, here and there, the collet beats a ballistic hammer any time.
But, the kind of collet that comes up under a search for "standard 5-C type collets" look a bit beefier than mine.

Datz about it !

Yeah, they ARE a bit beefier than the RCBS bullet puller type

5,000 caliber?

I think a 5-C will go up to about 38 MM (approx. 1 1/2" )

I could use a couple of indoor projects today. We actually got some rain overnight and throughout the day. Will wonders never cease.

I could use some motivation today, the garage is warm (it's 16* and sunny outside, going down to about 2* tonight) but I'm sitting inside, comfy chair & like a cat, I'm in the sun coming thru a window. I'm warm & have no ambition to move !

Sounds like that joke about a Robin who ends up in a pile of manure on a cold day. He chirps and this causes some critter to find him and eat him.
And, the moral of the story: if you are alive and warm and in a pile of manure, keep your mouth shut. I'll bet Auntie could find some honey do projects for you. Either that, or she's glad you're in the garage.

She's in the kitchen doing something, I did my part this morning, I've got ribs marinating and getting ready for cooking. I'm also out of her way right now.

Intrawebs connection in the barn? Fancy.

 

[VN350X10]

No, was in the family room, she was in the kitchen, so I was out of her way.
Not sure what I did or when, but the back just said it wasn't going to pay today.
Don't even have phone in the garage so I CAN hide.

Lack of technology can be a blessing sometimes.
And, yes, the body does make us payback for a lifetime of abuse.

When I wake up in the morning, there are times that things hurt that I didn't even know that I OWNED when I was 20ish !
