Copying a hole profile multiple times

I tried finding a solution, but maybe I'm not sure what I'm searching for...

 

I have a tube sheet for a heat exchanger, with over 300 holes @ .76, each hole then needs a profile for the copper tube to be expanded into and locked into place.

 

I have the holes patterned, and the profile for the hole consists of 2 parts, chamfered edges at the opening and at center mass two grooves. I have a chamfer and a revolution currently, though I could make the chamfer part of the revolution to eliminate a feature if needed.

 

Is there a way to copy this profile similar to iFeature? I tried but it's not letting my use the revolution.

 

See attached, the uppermost hole has received the two features.

So after monkeying around with this off and on for days (several versions back and forth with different hole layouts)...and all the back and forth on here...
