RCBS Collet 8.6 mm/338 for Bullet Puller

• Caliber-specific grip: Sized for 8.6 mm / .338 bullets, this collet gives the bullet puller a secure hold so loaded rounds can be disassembled with less risk of slipping or marking the projectile.
• Works with the RCBS Standard Bullet Puller: Built for use with the RCBS Standard Bullet Puller, it turns the puller body into a caliber-matched tool for more controlled bullet removal during load correction or component salvage.
• Hardened steel construction: The steel body resists wear from repeated use, helping the collet keep its shape and grip consistency over time in a busy reloading setup.
• Protects reusable components: Designed to remove jacketed bullets without wrecking components, it helps reloaders recover bullets and brass when changing loads or correcting assembly mistakes.
• Compact bench accessory: With a weight of 50.00 g and a length of 76.00 mm, this collet is easy to store alongside other case-preparation and reloading tools without taking up much space.

About the RCBS Bullet Puller Collet Series

The RCBS Bullet Puller Collet series is part of the company’s broader line of reloading and case-preparation tools, aimed at reloaders who want a more controlled way to disassemble loaded cartridges. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all gripping surface, these collets are made as caliber-specific inserts for the RCBS Standard Bullet Puller, so the puller can match the bullet diameter being worked on. That matters when the goal is to recover components cleanly rather than simply break down ammunition.

Across the series, the design focus is straightforward: hardened steel construction, precise sizing, and compatibility with a wide range of common bullet diameters. In practice, that makes the system useful for correcting handloads, changing bullets, or salvaging components from loaded rounds while reducing the chance of damaging jacketed projectiles. Within the RCBS lineup, these collets sit as small but important support tools for reloaders who value repeatable bench work and want their bullet-pulling setup tailored to the cartridge at hand.

About the RCBS Collet 8.6 mm/338 for Bullet Puller

The RCBS Collet 8.6 mm/338 for Bullet Puller is the caliber-specific insert for reloaders working with .338 / 8.6 mm bullets. Used with the RCBS Standard Bullet Puller, it gives the puller the correct gripping diameter for pulling loaded rounds apart in a more deliberate and controlled way. That makes it especially useful when a powder charge needs to be corrected, a bullet needs to be changed, or valuable components need to be recovered instead of discarded.

Its main advantage is fit. A collet matched to bullet diameter can hold jacketed bullets more securely than a generic solution, which helps reduce slipping and lowers the chance of unnecessary marks on the projectile. For reloaders who want to salvage bullets and brass for later use, that practical benefit matters more than the part’s simple appearance suggests. The steel construction also supports repeated use, so the collet remains a dependable bench accessory rather than a consumable part.

Because it is a compact accessory at 76.00 mm long and 50.00 g in weight, it stores easily with other reloading tools and can be swapped in as needed for caliber-specific work. In a reloading workflow, this RCBS collet is less about adding complexity and more about making bullet pulling cleaner, more repeatable, and better suited to preserving components.

About RCBS

RCBS was founded in 1943 by Fred T. Huntington in Oroville, California. The company built its reputation around ammunition handloading and reloading equipment for rifle and pistol cartridges, and its catalog has long covered the core tools reloaders use every day, including presses, dies, shell holders, powder measures, and priming tools. The RCBS name came from “Rock Chuck Bullet Swage”, Huntington’s original bullet-swaging die, which reflects the brand’s roots in practical toolmaking for precision shooting and ammunition assembly.

RCBS remains closely associated with bench equipment for reloaders, with product lines that include single-stage, turret, and progressive presses as well as a wide range of supporting accessories. The brand is based in Oroville, California, United States, and its long-standing focus on durable, purpose-built reloading tools makes it a natural fit for products such as bullet pullers, collets, and other case-preparation accessories.
