All l use for pulling is a set of linesman pliers. All long as you use the wire cutting portion of the jaws to grip the bullet in the cannelure or on the shank below the ogive (and don't "farmer squeeze") no harm is done. The slight deformities will be ironed out as the bullet goes through the barrel.
I've shot lots of these and have never noticed any difference in accuracy. Perhaps if I was a bench rest competitor striving for one hole groups I might see a difference but I assume we're talking hunting rifles. This also works for me and has for several years. I quit using inertia pullers. For some reason slamming a loaded round onto a block of wood just didn't sound prudent anymore.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
