I for one will never use a shell holder in a bullet puller. you have given advice that can get someone hurt.....bad.

Mike,

I know quite a few folks that do the same as I do. I did not learn this on my own, I learned it from a friend who had been doing it for years.

How is the round getting off center going to cause it to go off? Are you using the puller upside down?

Have been reloading for over 40 years and have not blown myself up yet. But I guess there is a first time for everything.............
