The RCBS 9436 Bullet Puller Collet provides precise bullet extraction for .45 caliber cartridges during reloading operations. This specialized collet fits RCBS impact bullet pullers, allowing reloaders to safely disassemble cartridges without damaging components for reuse.
What Makes This Different
Unlike universal bullet pullers that can mark or damage projectiles, this caliber-specific collet grips bullets evenly around the circumference. The precision-machined steel construction maintains consistent grip pressure across the bullet surface. Standard plier-type pullers often leave tool marks on expensive match bullets, while this collet system preserves bullet integrity for subsequent loading operations.
Key Features
- Precision-machined steel construction for consistent bullet grip
- Caliber-specific design fits .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .45-70 Government cartridges
- Compatible with RCBS impact-style bullet puller handles
- Threaded attachment system ensures secure connection during use
- Hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated impact operations
- Internal collet design distributes gripping force evenly around bullet circumference
- Allows component recovery for premium bullets and cases
Reloaders working with match-grade .45 caliber bullets benefit from the collet's ability to extract projectiles without surface damage. The tool proves essential when correcting powder charges, switching bullet types, or salvaging components from factory ammunition. Competition shooters frequently use this collet to disassemble loads that don't meet accuracy standards, recovering expensive match bullets for alternative load development.
