I never had any luck with a collet puller (RCBS),. It never worked with cast bullets and often would damage jacketed bullets because it had to be tight enough to grip the bullet, often squeezing/marring the jacket. I have never damaged a bullet when using an inertia puller but it does have it's down sides; it can be messy with loose powder spilling when pouring out the bullet and powder, and yep, it can be tiresome.
Hint; there's only one way to eat an elephant, that's one bite at a time! I have pulled as many as 200, 30-06 rounds and there's no way I would try and do that all at one time, so, "one bite at a time". I would pound out anywhere from 10 to 40-50 rounds depending what I was comfortable doing at the time, over several sessions. No sweating, no tired arms, no ringing ears (I found that if I use a lead ingot as an anvil the puller works just as well and is much quieter)....
