Getting ready to purchase the RCBS standard bullet puller
I have a question for the collet size. I need one for .303 British but I have not been able to confirm which collet will work
Can anybody confirm which collet I would need for a .223 and .303br?
Thank you

RCBS does not make a specific collet for the 303 [.311] bullet size. I use a standard .308 collet that I polished out inside so it does not hold the slightly larger bullet too tightly when I back off the screw.
The 223 collet is the correct one for 223. D.

The nice thing about the RCBS puller, once you get a feel for it you can pull bullets without any deformation. Another approch to collet size in this case is to go one size larger and add a shim inside the collet. This has worked for me.
Enjoy
