505 Gibbs inertia bullet puller?

[SkullKeeper]

I need a bullet puller and I’m not sure if an inertia puller is made for this size cartridge. Any suggestions?

Drill hole in a 2x4 and smack it over something hard.

Kind of this. Drill a hole but only make it small enough that when you put the bullet in the hole with a shellholder on the bottom, the shellholder makes it so that the whole thing doesn't go through. Then smack it against something hard --- preferably over a soft (to save the bullet) surface that's still easy to clean (for the mess of powder) about to come out.

Also, protip if not known --- for most rounds, there's zero reason to use those annoying little shell holders that come with kinetic hammers. All the hammers I use I can just load the cartridge to a shell holder and plop that in and screw it down. Much much much easier and less annoying.

The Lyman will handle larger cases than any of the common brands but 416 Rigby is as big as I have used it for?

I have the Lyman and it’s the largest of the inertia pullers I’ve seen yet. I can do my 450#2 cartridges in it but a 505 won’t fit.

I’m in the process of making one to fit a brass 4 bore cartridge that someone pushed the projectile into, they can be made, just not that simple as you need to support both the top and bottom of the rim

Use the RCBS collet bullet puller. It is a far better puller. It also is safer. There are occasional reports of bullets igniting with inertia pullers, rare but enough to warrant consideration.

Yes there better but if you can't grab the bullet there useless.

They make a .50 cal collet. It will pull it just fine.

I used an RCBS puller for my 505.

However, I have never heard of a cartridge igniting from an inertial puller... How the heck would something hit the primer?

 

[Rez Exelon]

The RCBS has a star on my walk of fame. But if you didn't already have it and just needed to pop one loose then McGyver's Kinetic Hammer would be fine.

Generally the RCBS is preferred though.

It is just the force setting off the primer material. Remember the firing pin pushes the primer material onto the primer anvil to ignite it. The inertia applies to the primer material just like it does a bullet. So once every 1 in a million times the inertia carries the primer material onto the anvil with enough force to ignite. That is made up number for an example.

I have read a few of these reports over the years, then it happened to one of my friends. Once I tried the collet type puller, the inertia one went in the trash.

Check a search engine to locate reports as the links will not display correctly.

For a example how would one pull a wadcutter, depending on the bullet the collets may not grab the bullet.

 

[mauserhunter]

If your not worried about saving the bullet you can just use your press, wire cutters seem to grab bullets pretty well and some times with minimal damage if there's a crimp grove.

Just a guess he is not pulling a wadcutter out of a .505 Gibbs.

I would like to thank everyone for their input so far. I have about 25 to 30 handloads to disassemble. Most of them are round nose solids, some are flat point solids.
