Got some Wolf 7.62x39 that got wet. The worst of it is pictured below. Safe to shoot, or not so much?

a bullet puller will work, but Im scared to use one
It's an SKS, you'll be fine.
The impact bullet pullers work fine and are simple to use. Use a scrap piece of 2x4 or 4x4 about a foot long. Set the end of the block on a concrete floor, snug the round into the hammer's collet, and whack away at the other end of the wood. Depending on how tight the bullet is crimped, after a few good smacks, the bullet and charge will be in the hammer's head.
Just don't bang your puller directly onto concrete...you'll break it...

P.S. A kinetic bullet hammer is a good tool to have on your reloading bench. When first adjusting seating depth on your die set up, if you inadvertanly seat a bullet too deeply, a couple of taps with the hammer can bring the bullet out far enough so you can reposition it in the case with your 'new' seating die adjustment.
Off topic I know...
More off topic, feel like RussD, what i did was make 1 round of each caliber to spec, no primer or powder, and locked my die to that depth, so I dont need to adjust it , and if I do, I have a spec round to go off of, Thread jack completed
