Overview
This collet is designed for use with Hornady’s Cam-Lock Bullet Puller as a dedicated component for rifle cartridge work. Sized for .243 caliber applications, it supports careful bullet removal when load adjustments or cartridge disassembly are needed. It is intended for rifle cartridges only and should not be used with pistol cartridges. For reloaders who already use the compatible Cam-Lock system, it provides a straightforward way to match the tool to the cartridge size.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for Hornady's Cam-Lock Bullet Puller, so it is not a standalone tool and requires the matching puller body (part #050095).
- Intended for rifle cartridges only; it should not be used for pistol cartridges.
- Sized as Collet #3 (.243 cal.), so it is limited to that cartridge diameter range rather than being a universal collet.
- Use is dependent on having the correct collet size for the cartridge being worked with, which means this is a specialized accessory rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
