The Hornady Bullet Feeder Die For 380/9mm is a mechanical, progressive reloading bullet feeder die designed to automate bullet placement into flared cartridge cases. Built from solid steel with a dual internal spring-steel collet system, it eliminates the manual task of placing projectiles by hand during progressive reloading. The unit mounts via standard 7/8"-14 die threads and works with case-activated operation, releasing exactly one bullet onto the case mouth during the press upstroke. It operates passively without electrical power, making it fully compatible with automated feeder bowls, manual feeder tubes, or custom gravity feed setups on multi-station presses.

• Dual Steel Collet Mechanism: Utilises an internal two-collet system that suspends the projectile stack and releases one .355" diameter bullet per press stroke without double-feeding.
• Standard Press Integration: Features 7/8"-14 die threads to fit an open station on progressive reloading presses, positioned between case flaring and bullet seating.
• Mechanical Case Activation: Drops projectiles only when a flared case enters the die body, eliminating spillage and requiring zero electrical wiring or external power sources.
• Compact Profile: Packaged in dimensions of approximately 37 x 46 x 169 mm with a shipping weight of approximately 0.23–0.27 kg.

Who is the Hornady Bullet Feeder Die For 380/9mm for?

• Australian IPSC handgun reloaders — needs to produce high volumes of match ammunition efficiently, utilising this progressive reloading bullet feeder die to feed .355" diameter jacketed projectiles automatically on standard 7/8"-14 threaded progressive presses.
• Competitive shooters using progressive reloading presses — seeks to eliminate physical repetitive motion during long reloading sessions by installing this 0.23–0.27 kg mechanical die directly into a standard 7/8"-14 die threads station to automate case-mouth projectile positioning.

Less suitable for: Reloaders loading .38 Special/.357 (.357"–.358"), .40 S&W/10mm (.400"), or .45 ACP (.451"–.452") calibres, which exceed this tool's fixed .355" collet diameter and require dedicated larger-calibre feeder dies; also not suitable for users running cast lead or bare lubricated bullets due to wax and lead fouling, who are better served by manual bullet placement or dedicated cast-bullet feeder systems.
