A foam ear plug works well too.I put some paper towel in the bottom as to not deform pointed soft tip bullets

Don't understand what you want?
You say "Not the collet type"
and then say
"Different collet methods (like shell holders) and advice for these appreciated".
So do you want a hammer or a press operated type??
If you want a Kinetic type hammer they all work the same. I have the RCBS
NiceMine's 45 years old.....before anyone made a commercial one. Today I'd just buy a green plastic one.....except mine still works....and likely will out last me. (got the plans out of "Handloader".(...yup....the magazine is that old.) Parts are still available from Home Depot. Uses regular shell holders with an epoxy insert to keep the case centered in the holder and foam top and bottom. Top to prevent vertical shell holder movement, and bottom to cushion dropped bullets. Painted the dropped bullet reservoir red so I wouldn't hit the wrong end.

Cool! I bet the extra weight makes un-seating the bullet easier.

Right (I know you are tongue-in-cheek).....buying gas pipe could be construed to be parts for to make a stove connection.......and you could, on purpose, leave the gas on.....and fill up a house....which then becomes a bomb, right? Who knows maybe such a tool caused Notre Dame to burn down.
These days such logic can't surprise me. After all front page news in my location, this very day, is that we shouldn't allow oil and gas locations within 10 miles of the Chaco Canyon Anasazi Historical site.....because it would destroy water and air quality there (60 miles in the middle of the desert in nowhere)..........but it's okay to have dozens inside the city limits where live people live. (2 within a mile of my central town location). No, they don't leak methane in the air or in the water.....don't know they are there except when I drive by. (shouldn't have wrote this....some might construe this as political....but its not.....just the daily fighting off of "stupid"....and I know, you can't fix that, and we've all seen examples of it from both sides of the aisle.)
Yes it does......it also can break a cement stoop.....ask me how I know that..... It's really smarter if you beat in the middle of a concrete floor, not close to an edge. Being a contractor it's not hard for me to pour a new stoop.......sigh.....would have preferred not to have to. Would like to find a used small anvil.....seems to me to be the best of surfaces....and useful for other things as well.
