1. A method of feeding a plurality of stacked bullets into an upwardly extending bullet receiving end of a die body to be placed in cartridge cases inserted into an opposite downwardly extending receiving end of the die body, the method comprising the steps of:

retaining the plurality of stacked bullets in the receiving end of the die body by supporting the bottommost bullet in the plurality of stacked bullets by a plurality of bullet support surfaces of a plurality of circularly arranged finger portions of a collet, each finger portion resiliently and integrally connected to a collar portion of the collet;

inserting a cartridge case upwardly into the collet to engage interior surfaces of the finger portions below the bullet support surfaces of the finger portions with an upper lip of the cartridge case thereby deflecting the finger portions with the bullet support surfaces outwardly allowing the bottommost bullet in the plurality of stacked bullets to be dropped into the cartridge case.
