Stationary Bullet Puller for the Reloading Bench
Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver 1116083
The Pile Driver pulls bullets via a spring-assisted lever mechanism and catches both bullet and powder directly. With the included standard carrier, it processes cartridges up to .30-06 length; for cartridges up to .338 Lapua, the separately available Magnum Carrier is required.

Those who correct individual misfires often get by with a kinetic hammer. However, with multiple cartridges, repeated hammering becomes slow and uncomfortable. The Pile Driver is firmly mounted to a workbench or wall, uses lever travel and spring force, and keeps the workflow in one defined place. This makes it especially interesting for reloaders who regularly recover components or disassemble loading batches in a controlled manner.

The crucial purchase checks


Cartridge Length The supplied standard carrier is designed for cartridges up to .30-06 length. Caliber designation and actual cartridge geometry must match the carrier.

Magnum Use For cartridges up to .338 Lapua, a dedicated Magnum Carrier is needed. This is explicitly not included in the standard version.

Fixed Mounting Location The device only works correctly if it is stably mounted on a sturdy workbench or wall and the lever has free movement space.

Catching Components The included catch container collects bullet and powder. Alternatively, the supplied hose connector allows discharge into a suitable separate container.

Works well if: You often pull bullets from
Zentralfire cartridges up to .30-06 length can be pulled and bullets, cases, and powder collected separately and controlled.
Not ideal if: You only rarely disassemble a single cartridge, don’t have a reliable mounting spot, or want to process cartridges up to .338 Lapua without the additionally required Magnum Carrier.

Why the Pile Driver works differently


Lever instead of striking motion: The inertia effect is generated by the spring-assisted mechanism; a separate striker block is not required.

Standard carrier included: The standard version covers cartridges up to .30-06 length.

Closed recovery: Bullet and powder land in the catch container or can be routed further via the hose connector.

Mounting as needed: The housing can be attached to a workbench or wall.

Integrated safety: According to the manufacturer, the mechanism can only be operated when the carrier is fully locked.

Application with clean component separation

Securely mount the Pile Driver on a stable surface according to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep the lever path clear.
Keep the workspace free of ignition sources, open flames, sparks, and unnecessary powder containers; wear safety glasses.
Choose the appropriate carrier. For the standard version, only use cartridges whose length and geometry fit the standard carrier.
Insert the catch container correctly or connect the hose connector to a suitable collection system.
Fully insert the cartridge and lock the carrier. Do not bypass the integrated safety.
Operate the lever evenly according to the manufacturer’s instructions; do not apply additional striking or extension force.
Remove the pulled bullet, case, and powder separately and clearly assign them. Primers may still be active.
Never reuse unknown or contaminated powder or mix it with other powder types.

Reloading tip: Prepare a labeled container set for each disassembled load batch. Reusable bullets and cases remain assigned to the original batch; powder is only returned if type and condition are clearly verified.

Safety limit: The Pile Driver is not a discharger for firearms and not a tool for processing unknown or damaged ammunition. Stop work and seek expert help if cases are corroded, cartridges deformed, load unknown, or unusual resistance occurs.

Frequently asked questions
Which cartridges does the included carrier process? Frankford Arsenal specifies the standard carrier for cartridges up to .30-06 length. The actual cartridge geometry must still fit securely in the carrier.
Can I use .338 Lapua directly? No. The separately available Magnum Carrier is required for cartridges up to .338 Lapua length.
Is the Magnum Carrier included? No. The standard scope of delivery includes the carrier assembly up to .30-06 length; the Magnum version is sold separately.
Must the Pile Driver fes
Can it be mounted? Yes. The device is designed for fixed mounting on a workbench or wall. A stable attachment and free lever movement are required for controlled operation.
Where do the bullet and powder end up? Both components are collected in the included catch container. Alternatively, the supplied hose connector can be attached to a suitable discharge system.
Does the device replace a kinetic bullet puller? For regular or larger quantities, the stationary lever solution offers more comfort. For single cartridges, a classic kinetic bullet puller can still be the more compact solution.
Can rifled ammunition be reused immediately? Bullet, case, and powder must be checked individually. Unknown, mixed, or contaminated powder is not reused; a still seated primer remains potentially active.
