Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky R. K. Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 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. Lucky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Agree with Lucky R K plus I nose first almost everything I size because they slide into sizer better GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) 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.

Warden Callaway Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
