The collet will, 99% of the time, damage your bullet. While it would be much faster, do you really want to toss up to a thousand bullets? Dedicate a day and pull those rounds apart using your kinetic bullet puller.

I've never tried using my collet puller on pistol rounds, just rifle. But, if they are lead bullets I fully agree with this. If they are jacketed, it would depend on whether the collet can get a solid grip on the bullet profile. I know that on jacketed rifle bullets my collet puller does zero damage to the bullet.
With that said, get a good good inertia puller such as the RCBS and get ready for several days of banging apart ammo. I would break it up into several days of processing 100-200 rounds myself to prevent burnout. And buy yourself a quality balance to replace the cheap Lee one you are using. I prefer mechanical over electronic, but I am also an old neanderthal anyways, as far as my loading equipment goes.
