How difficult is it to pull bullets from military surplus 303 British ammunition and leave primers intact and fully functional?

Please describe the process.

Many British Commonwealth countries have loaded 303 British ammunition for their armed forces. Which countries' military surplus ammunition - if any - is unusually difficult to complete the process?

heavy crimp ... HEAVY crimp .. i used to tear down 7.62x54 and reload... amazing difference in groups

hammer type puller is slow.. use the end of a 4x4 about 2.5" long.. 100mmx100mmx 700mm .. hitting down on the end grain works best

or use a collet type puller.. these work great and might be faster

Seat the bullet 1/16 or 50 or 60 thousands deeper

This removes the crimp and breaks the chemical bond that copper and brass get over time

Then with tools you already own follow the steps on my YouTube video and it's quick and easy

And, I've found milsurp bullets pulled using this method shoot just as well as collet or inertia pulled.

I have shot hundreds of bullets pulled with my method with the same accuracy as a new bullet

Ted has it. Re-seat, as it were, the bullet to break the asphalt seal between neck and bullet sides.
