Saeco Sizer-Newbie question

[Amanda4461]

Folks,
If I buy a new Saeco Lubri-Sizer Lube and Sizer Die 459 Diameter for my .45-70, what top punch do I need, and how will I know in the future which Top punch I would need, should I take up a .40 caliber rifle?
Thanks!
Amanda

Top punches are somewhat bullet specific in that they fit the nose profile of the bullet. Contact member the perfessor. He makes both flat and "universal" top punches. A flat top punch will work with any bullet that has a meplat. Use JB Weld or similar to conform the universal punch to your bullet.

Welcome to the site!

Regards,

Yes, you need one to fit the nose profile. If you know which Lyman/RCBS nose punch works, there's a way to adapt.

I make my own, and as tony said, theperfessor makes them. However, he has some health issues he's dealing with, so it will be a while before he's producing again.
