Lee 358-125-RF, Nose punch?

[Uriah, SASS # 53822]

Can anyone recommend a nose punch for a Lyman lubersizer for Lee 358-125-RF.

 

I can’t find it in any of the Lee documents online nor can I see it in Midway.
 

Lyman nose punches for the 357 cal bullets: 495 RF point bullet, 429 Keith style bullet.

 

Help needed.

Thanks,

Uriah

When faced with that problem,  I take the best fit. Clean it up. Steel wool it. JB Weld a little dab.  Set a bullet nose to shape.  And you got.

If the bullet is an alloy (not pure lead) I use a flat faced punch the same size as the face of the bullet.  It works great and the same punch can be used with bullets having different sized faces.

Agree with Lucky R K         plus I nose first almost everything I size  because they slide into sizer better     GW

Lee made two styles of the 358-125-RF mold, so a top punch made for the one on the left is going to leave a ring gouged into the nose of the right one. As above, just use a flat punch or fit it to the nose with a dab of JB or epoxy. Smear a bit of vaseline on the bullet so it doesn't get glued to the punch.

My really old Lyman lubrisizer came with a flat top punch when I got it.  Don't know what part number it is, but it has worked fine with every cowboy flat nose bullet I've run through it.

I had a top punch for a Lyman Kieth semi-wadcutter. I used it to resize round flat bullets. It left a ring. You know what?  The targets didn't know what hit them.
