Utopia,

This deal has a rim on one end. The rim has to go up for the threaded adjuster to push it.

BTW, I have been to Utopia. Nice place.

Unclenick,

Interesting idea. The would for sure work, but my machinist buddy will make about whatever I'd need.

I was measuring the bullets (NIB ones) to check them today. I took one XTP and set it in the seating punch. The bullet tip is all that makes contact with the concave pocket in the punch. I also took another different 9mm cartrigde (WWB) and on that round nosed bullet the punch "grabs" it more securely. More of the angled face makes contact.
