I’ve never pulled handgun bullets, but I’ve pulled a ton out of rifle ammo. I use a kinetic bullet puller.
Well wadcutters are typically flush with the case, no way to get puller on them. I have loaded 1000s of wadcutters for 38 back in the day and only way I know is to drill out bullet (or shoot it out!)

Kinetic pullers don’t care about the projectile. Just chuck the rim up in the collet, put it in the puller, and bang away. The bullet’s mass (or, I suppose, inertia, if you want to be pedantic) will take care of the extraction.

ETA: this looks like the one I have:
