    Hornady Bullet feeder die part 2

    Well, the 38/357 Bullet feeder dies are garbage. Very frustrating, no amount of adjusting helps. That being said, the 45 ACP feeder die works perfectly. Go figure

    I have the 380/9mm die. I think it was a return at Cabbalas. I did not work out of the box.

    I opened up the fingers/collet that hold the bullet. I pushed a bladed screw driver into each gap. Very gently to pry them open. Then when you put it back in the die it will size to your bullet.

    I think if you set the die up wrong it will compress the gap and it happens over time from use.
