Hornady 9mm Bullet Feeder Die

[TimAustinTX]

I am curious if anyone else had issues with the Hornady 9mm Bullet Feeder Die.

I had broke a couple collets and when I called to get a replacement collet the second time they wanted me to send the whole die in.

It has now been over 2 months and still no die back. I have noticed that all the bullet feeder dies are in short supply which leads me to believe there is a design issue.

Has anyone else experienced issue with the collets breaking.

I got the 45acp feeder die and no issues here.

I have the .40, no issues.

I have the 9mm die, and I use bayou 160 grain bullets... They fit a little large so I had to use a dremel and open them up a hair, but it's been great ever since.

I have the 9 & the 45 and they run without a problem...only using FMJ's.

i have had no issues with 9 or 40.

if you are breaking the collets i would have to say you are putting to much flare on your brass.

How many rounds have you guys loaded?

I suspect i have loaded about 20K through the die.

I've run about 7K through mine (Rainier 124gr PHP and MG 124gr JHP). No issues at all once I got the amount of case bell dialed in. Had too much to begin with.
