ABSTRACT:
An inertial bullet puller comprises a rigid, tough plastics material carrier tube having an opening at its upper end adapted to receive a cartridge and a head portion at its lower end adapted to be struck against a hard surface. The carrier tube is affixed to the end of a handle in a manner similar to the construction of a hammer. The upper end of the carrier tube includes a plurality of slots cut therein to receive an annular segmented support comprised of a plurality of segments interconnected with an O-ring. A cap at the upper end of the carrier tube includes a tapered inner end to provide a cam surface for positively moving the segments radially inward and holding them in position. After a cartridge is inserted through the segments, the cap is tightened to urge the segments inwardly along the slots so that they engage the cannelure and casing of the cartridge. In use the lower end of the tube is struck against a hard surface until the bullet is observed to pull free of the cartridge casing. The lower end of the tube is closed forming a pocket to receive the bullet and casing contents when the bullet is freed from the casing. The cap is then backed off to allow the O-ring to move the segments radially outward which permits the cartridge components to pass from the upper end of the carrier tube when it is inverted and shaken.
