Unhappy Pulling Bullets .380

I need to pull the bullets for a bad batch of .380 auto rounds. My problem is my enertial hammer will not hole the .380 rim. I also have one of Hornedy's die pullers but they do not make a die for this round. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use a shell holder in your kinetic bullet puller.

This works well in my Kinetics and RCBS kinetic pullers.

That works like a charm!!!!! So much easier than using the 3-piece o-ring thingie that comes with the RCBS puller!

Default Pulling. 380's

Actually they do make one that should work fine.
I had to pull a large amount of 9mm and the same one should work for 380.
Remember they are not sold by caliber but diameter.
