RW, a collet style puller would have grabbed the jacket and not the lead. The collet doesn't have that much range of motion downwards to grab the lead. And the lead would have been squeezed and shiny and it isn't in that pic.
That's why I suggested an undersized collet: The bullet couldn't enter far enough for the collet to grip the jacket. The striations on the lead appear to be from where the jacket was stabbed to the core.
