Mustang Gregg Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Howdy, Casters: I am searching for a certain top punch for a Lyman mold/bullet. I can't seem to find a chart that tells the correct one to use. Lyman products is not answering or their phone system is inop. The mold part no. is 429303. The Lyman no. is 26603003. Since it is a pointy bullet, I can't just use any old .44 caliber top punch, as it can deform the bullet nose. Much obliged for the help!

SHOOTIN FOX Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Go over to castboolits.com and contact Lathesmith. He can produce any profile punch and cost are reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Gregg Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 I used to have a Lyman top punch modified to size these bullets. But I can't locate it. I have a new one ordered. I do have a bullet seater/crimp die that has it's top screw contour machined so that it doesn't deform these pointed slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
