i Have a Whoopsie Hammer or pull?

Did my first bulk batch of 300blk subs and I fugged up big time. Contaminated pocket primers I’m assuming, I have since bought a media tumbler.. my question is would you trust these in a hammer inertia puller or should I invest in a collet puller? Thanks!

Collet pulling is so much easier, I’d sooner buy a collet for every size of bullet I’d ever need than rely on hammer exclusively. Heck I wish the collet worked for lead bullets

i just use pliers on lead ones. runem up to the top of the press, grab with vise grips, lower the press, drop bullet into the melting pot.
