Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Puller collet questions

Hey all,

I was hoping you all could let me know which size collets I need to pull .223, .380 and 9mm.

Thanks!

Thanks,
Steve

For the 223 you need the .224 diameter collet.

You use .355 diameter bullets for the 380 & 9mm so I suspect the .358 diameter collet would work; there is no specific .355 diameter collet.

The collets are somewhat flexible in the sizes of bullets they will pull. For example, the 30 caliber collet will pull 7mm and 8mm bullets.

+1 the collets are flexible so you are able to pull bullets that are somewhat close to the collet nomenclature. Only thing I can add is the larger the caliber the thinner the collets, which then chip if you are not really careful. About 450 & up thru 500s they are quite thin. You won't have any issues with what calibers you listed, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
