My thought is larger brass "buttons" won't necessarily increase the contact area especially on rounds

That's a good point Dave. Unless you're working with stock with very large diameters larger buttons wouldn't do much good, I would think.

I just drew it up in CAD to see at what point the 3/16" diameter brass point on the set screw would be fully against the stock. At 25" it still did not completely contact the brass point. I think we are good with the brass tipped set screws.
