I crimped some Hornady 150gr FMJs like that once.  I used a collet die somehow to make the crimp.  I had to pull them down as the crimp made for too much pressure.  The edge of the crimp groove was square on the bottom, but a bit rounded at the top.  That allowed me to seat the bullet a bit more, but just a bit, trying to seat it a bunch collapsed the shoulder like the OP's.  Had the upper edge of that groove been square, I think I'd have had no choice but to shoot them.  After moving the bullet a tad the kinectic puller worked.  I think if both edges of the groove are square, they'll take a lot of whacks with a kinetic puller.
