Abstract: A bullet puller includes a plastic carrier tube, a metal insert, an annular segmented support, a cap, and a handle. The plastic carrier tube has an opening at its upper end adapted to receive the cartridge and a head at its lower end adapted to be struck against a hard surface. The metal insert resides atop the upper end of the plastic carrier tube thereby protecting the upper end of the plastic carrier tube during use of the bullet puller. The annular segmented support is disposed atop the metal insert for engaging the cartridge. The cap movably secures over the opening at the upper end of the plastic carrier tube for moving the annular segmented support radially inward. The handle connects at one end to the plastic carrier tube for imparting motion to the plastic carrier tube to strike it against a hard surface.
