I loaded 180gr. A frame in my 30-06 last year and decide to lower the charge
put my round on my ultra mag Redding press with the RCBS bullet puller and to no avail
can not get them to operate from the case
the brass where cleaned with a ultra sonic cleaner and crimped with a Lee factory crimp.... slightly

any one got some clue of what going on
and since they do not separate are the safe to shoot
 
The copper and brass have cold welded together. Brass too clean is not always a good thing.

If you don’t have an impact bullet puller, try seating the bullets a bit deeper and then use the puller.
 
Yep, just seat the bullet slightly deeper which will break the seal.

If nothing else and you don't want to try to save the bullet just pull the die and run the press with the loaded shell all the way up, then grab the bullet with a pair of pliers or vice grips and then lower the ram which should pull the bullet. If not too badly damaged you could use the bullet for targets.

I agree

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
