Hornady Cam Lock Bullet Collets #6 .284"

The Hornady Cam Lock Bullet Collets #6 .284" are precision reloading accessories engineered to work exclusively with the Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Puller. These collets enable rifle reloaders to safely and rapidly extract bullets from loaded cartridges without deforming projectiles or damaging case integrity. The #6 specification indicates this collet is sized for .284-caliber rifle ammunition, making it compatible with cartridges like the .284 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, and other standard 7mm rifle platforms.

Designed for integration with a standard reloading press, the Cam-Lock system uses a lever-actuated collet mechanism that grips bullets concentrically without the lateral pressure that causes deformation. This design maintains bullet integrity during extraction—critical when salvaging quality projectiles from misloaded rounds or when reclaiming expensive match-grade ammunition. The collet slides into the puller body and locks via the cam lever, then is driven downward by press ram pressure to grasp and extract the bullet. The modular collet design allows shooters to maintain a complete set for various caliber ranges.

This accessory is essential for reloaders who regularly encounter seating errors, powder charge mistakes, or loaded rounds that fail inspection. Competitive long-range shooters, precision rifle builders, and high-volume ammunition handloaders benefit from the speed and reliability of the Cam-Lock system compared to impact pullers or kinetic methods. The modular collet approach ensures that as a reloader expands into different calibers, additional collets can be acquired without purchasing redundant puller hardware.
