I hit it hard. Broken Bullet Puller.

I bought one of those in 1980 - never managed to break it though. I have since switched to a collet puller. It is much faster and easier on components.
That RCBS replaced it is consistent with my 45 years of experience.

Normally see them break at the neck but ive always kept 2 on hand because you never know when one will break.

I also have a pile of those pullers. Nearly every week as part of my morning chores I spend about 10-15 minutes taking apart rounds that I’ve picked up at several places I shoot. I keep one set up for each case head style, and store each in the bucket with the rounds to be scrapped. Over the years I’ve broken a couple, but the manufacturers always replace them. Some rounds such as old military surplus .45ACP can be difficult, and take more effort. Some won’t move at all; those eventually get pulled on a single-stage press.

You think RCBS will replace my ancient puller?

Did yours break in the same area? The new plastic one does not feel the same.
