Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Collet #7 for .308 Caliber, Silver, 0.80 oz (392160)

The Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Collet #7 is a .308-caliber replacement collet designed for shooters who need to safely pull bullets from loaded rounds. This is the individual collet—sized specifically for .308 ammunition—and works with Hornady's cam-lock bullet puller system. If you reload and occasionally need to disassemble a round (to salvage components, troubleshoot a load, or correct a mistake), a reliable bullet puller is essential gear, and the Hornady collet-style design is built for smooth, repeatable operation.

The cam-lock mechanism is the key to this tool's reputation among reloaders. The collet clamps around the bullet securely, and the cam action locks it in place while you use your reloading press leverage to extract the projectile. This design distributes force evenly and reduces the risk of damaging the bullet or the case—important when you're working with quality components or trying to salvage match-grade ammunition. The silver-finished collet is sized to grip .308-diameter bullets reliably across a range of bullet weights and styles commonly used in .308 Winchester and similar cartridges.

If you're serious about reloading, you'll appreciate having the right tool for the job. A bullet puller isn't an everyday tool, but when you need one, settling for poor design or loose tolerances can turn a simple correction into a frustrating afternoon in the shop. This collet is a straightforward, well-engineered component that earns its place in a reloader's kit.
