Jones - all good points. Can you give me an example of the tubing cutter you mean? I will appreciate that. And yes, I am concerned about pulling the bullet out of the case without relieving the neck tension. That has to happen somehow, either through my Dremel cutting wheel very gently cutting light relief grooves into the brass around the bullet, or in some other but similar attack on that metal.
