Not at all needed for "power". But is it a wild hair, to use a mini arbor press ta seat gas checks square & even?

I devised a "swing-a-way" plate for the Lyman 45, for use as a GC seater.
The Lyman factory GC seater thingy does work better than a plate (like I made), but the factor thingy doesn't work on the 45
That was my thought. Change the bottom star plate with a 2" sq of 3/8" plate with a hole to take a top punch.how's about a top punch in a small arbor press.
I just press them into place similar to how Jon does it, only I use a star sizer and a flat plate of metal instead of a 450.
I guess if I wanted to make 100% sure I was ''straight'' I'd use some sort of blind die with a top punch to get them back out again.
but then again I could just push the core into a copper wrapper in one of those and not worry about it so much.
I'll have to thoroughly re-look into this, as I never tried the insert upside down.
