In my jacket draw set that makes the cups from copper sheet, the pinch trim system is like this:
There is universal die body with a adjustable inner part that could be adjusted freely to proper dept and locked in place with a locking screw (in the side). The part is hollow so that the ejector punch could go thru and eject the cup after trimming. In the set the reducing dies have two purpose: first they reduce the jacket down and second: the other end acts as a trimming die for the pinch trimming punch. Last part is the inner punch for the die.

In this set I have pinch trimming made for 3 calibers.

This is one example for fully adjustable set. I will post later on a pic of a pinch trim punch that is not adjustable.

Here is a push thru pinch trim punch with regular .22 derimmer punch (pinch trim punch in the middle)

In different cup lenghts one need different punch, but for example with two, one goes long way.

Just for the sake of suggestion, my local group of swaged bullet shooters, shooting our own 150 grain swaged bullets from 5.7X28 FN brass, are using Lil'Gun powder and getting 1/4 MOA groups (hitting bulletin board push pins) at 100 yards.

So, check out Lil'Gun powder as an alternative.

I will do that.

Good looking dies you made, Make me wished I had never sold my lathe and mill now , when we moved out here in the country 7 years ago I sold my equipment cause I didn't have a place to put them , , and at that time I had not got back into guns yet , I have regretted that ever since ,

I have some 5.7 brass coming so I'm looking forward to working with it. I have a pound of LilGun I have not tried yet. Once I get the brass I will get to work on making what I need to make them into bullets.
