Some " tools " I used.

The first thing to do is seat the bullet a little deeper to break the crimp and sealing materiel.

Once the bullet is pulled you'll notice a cardboard filler. I used the paperclip to get under it an the tweezers to pull it.

Dump the cordite, now when your placing it in the new case, have the case mouth tilted downward so the cordite stays loose.

Gently ram it home with a WOODEN dowel.

Replace the cardboard plug and seat the bullet. Happy shooting...
