I just got a Lyman 450 lubersizer off ebay...It came with a rather obscure sizer, marked 321, but no top punch....so, I'll need to buy one.
My question is:
Are there a few top punches that I can get to work for a number of caliber sizers
(I'm Very Short on Money~!)

How about a large flat one for all?
I don't think it with "damage" my boolits hardly, if any.

Your Thoughts Please??

Get ahold of theperfessor on here. He makes top punches for your lubesizer.
His punches are top notch, and 1/2 the prices of what you'd pay from someplace like Midway, ect.

Not only are his punches better quality, he's a top notch person to deal with and you'd be supporting a fellow member on here

Thanks You, Sir
I got them yesterday...now I just need some sizing dies in calibers I want...the .321 that came with it is Not something I'll use.

Does anyone here sell used sizing dies?

321 is the size for 32 special.
it could also be used for the older 8mm rifles that "had" a 318 bore but were often a bit oversized.
your 321 could also have been opened to a 322-323-324 or whatever for an 8 mauser rifle.
look in the swap and sell section, sizers come up pretty often.

Another option for top punches would be to buy flat ones from Accurate Molds. Tom sells 3 different sizes that will cover any flat nosed boolit from 30 cal to 45 cal. One benefit to using flat top punches is that if your sizer's top punch mounting hole is slightly off center with the actual sizing die, you won't damage your boolits as is possible when using regular top punches.

You can also use a 1/4" bolt with the flats ground off to the diameter that you need.

Be careful when you grind them off. I use a set of vice-grips. You might get a print of the bolt hardness triangle on the meplat but it doesn't hurt anything.
it is not in the same class as the Professors or Lymans but it works to start.
