Would it not be better to make some kind of bullet puller than a drop device

Screw or Hydraulic !
The larger calibres are best dealt with using either a "screw" puller or a "Hydraulic" puller but due to the extreme forces involved these tend to be made with special teeth to grip the projectiles thus badly marking them as Charlie points out.
There was a puller made many years ago that used tapered collars that were profiled to fit the projectile and therefore would not damage it so it could be removed and the Projectiles re used.
The Hydraulic pullers are also easily used in a "remote operation" situation for safety reasons and were very reliable and safe.(no electrics involved)
