but the actaul case puller has three claws on it...the one open side allows the gizmo to slip over, and lock onto, the rim, of the casing.....the .410 puller would therfore be too small to go onto the 20 and the 20 would be too loose onthe 410...
These things are from long ago when paper shells would swell badly and require a good amoutn of force to extract...you wouldn't use the pry thing because it will mar the gun when you pry agains the metal so you just use that part to lift the head high enough to engage the rim of the hsell with the three hooks on the ring.
Its worn on a finger and that allows the weared to exert enough force to pull the casing....and likely the folks thatt could afford those guns had a JEEVES to wear the ring and pull the stuck shells, all the while liekly being yelled at to "make haste dolt, the pheasants are getting away"......
These days in the age of plastic they are just for show....
