Pete EHelp With A Hornady Bullet Puller Collet...
I have a Hornady Collet Bullet Puller, the sort that fits into your press and I wish to pull some 9.3 bullets.
Hornady do a .35 and a .375 collet, but not a .366 one...
Would either of the other two work or would I need to get a .35 collet and open it up slightly?
Regards,
Pete

vapodogI sure hope you don't have a lot of bullets to pull because opening up that case hardened collet is going to be a bitch.....and the .375 is not likely going to hold the bullet well.....If you have only a few, the tool I use is a wire cutter.....called a pincers used for fencing. It marks the bullet but does a spectacular job of pulling them and if you really want you can reload them and shoot them. Run the cartridge up thru the threads in the press, grab on to the bullet with the pincers and retract the ram.....walla....bullet is in the pincers.

AtkinsonMy 35 cal. Forrester collets work fine on 9.3x62 so I suspect yours will too..just don;t push them up too deep.
