Blue Moon, here's something you can try to relax those collett fingers a bit...

Take the collett out completely and stick a pulled bullet into the jaws. Give the bullet a good wiggle to loosen the jaws a bit.

Always store colletts removed from the puller die body to avoid getting them shoved into the die accidentally.

BTW, I'm going to run a lengthy test in the spring (when my range opens again) to see whether pulled bullets are less accurate than virgin ones. My premise is that the slight damage caused by either collett or kinetic pullers has little or no effect on the bullets' accuracy. We'll see.
