RCBS inertia bullet puller

[jclayton]

After many years of use the 3 piece collet on my bullet puller has worn down so much that it will not hold rimless rounds.
Where can I get a replacement collet?

A shell holder works in place of the collet.

They will 100%. RCBS has replaced a few worn out or broken pieces over the years for me no questions asked and free of charge. The last example was when the zero adjustment wheel on my 505 scale broke because I dropped it. I emailed them and within a week or so I had a replacement in the mail.

Seriously, call or email RCBS. All the major reloading manufactures have excellent warranties and should be the first place you go when stuff breaks or is worn out. In some cases if the product is that old and the parts are no longer made, they may even ship a newer model. Give them a chance to show up other manufacturers (non-shooting companies) what it means to stand by their products.

If you do not want to try and save your bullets, I just put the case in a shell holder and stroke it up in the press with no die in place. Then grab the bullet with a pair of vice grips, and down stroke your press. It may not work with crimped bullets, but I never do that.

Most LGS that carry rcbs will have them in stock, but RCBS will replace it too for free
