Hornady Replacement Cam-Lock
The Hornady Replacement Cam-Lock is a precision collet assembly designed to restore or upgrade your Hornady bullet puller. If you reload ammunition and rely on your press-mounted puller to safely remove bullets from live or fired rounds, this replacement cam-lock mechanism is the heart of reliable, repeatable operation. The cam-lock design uses mechanical leverage to grip the bullet firmly while you work your press handle, eliminating the fumbling and inconsistency of older screw-down pullers.
Reloaders who've worn out an original cam-lock or are upgrading to a newer Hornady puller appreciate the smooth, controlled pull this collet system delivers. Whether you're pulling factory rounds for component salvage, removing bullets from failed loads, or working with mixed brass, the cam-lock's positive engagement means no slipped rounds and no damaged bullets—assuming proper collet selection for your bullet diameter. The design lets your press do the work, not your hands.
This is a replacement part, so verify compatibility with your existing Hornady puller setup before ordering. The cam-lock mechanism is engineered to the same quality standard Hornady applies to all their reloading tools, and it's built to handle the demands of a busy reloading bench.
