Looking at getting a Hornady collet type bullet puller. I know they work...but do they leave marks on the pulled bullets? I've broke one kinetic puller now...I'd not like to do that again if I can help it. It will mainly be ussed for 223's...since their isn't a whole lot of weight in those bullets for the kinetic puller to work efficiently.

some times yes they will other times no they dont It all depends on how much you have to crank down on them to get the to grip and pull the bullet I have an RCBS and the Hornady ... Like em both. I also have a hammer type but it has its downfalls too.

I love my Hornady puller. Sometimes they do leave a mark and sometimes they don't as Reload stated. However, marks doesn't really hurt the bullets unless your really into cosmetics. At least it never hurt the accuracy of the bullets I have pulled.
