I know this has been asked several times before but I need help getting top punches for lee Molds. I have searched this sight and found half of what I need but could not find the other half. I have also noticed that many suggested just getting a flat punch to use for flat topped bullets but this is all new to me. Is there a specific number for a flat top punch? I have also read about using epoxy to make them but want to do that as a last resort. I have been casting for over a year now and used lee sizers but recently picked up a RCBS LAM2 and wanted to get all of the top punches I need. I need punches for the following lee molds

452-255RF
429-240SWC Gas Check
429-200RF

I use the same flat TP for all flat nosed boolits. Dont have the # handy. Even TP for a certain boolit dont always fit well. I like the epoxy system.

190 will work for the 45 colt bullet. 421 will work for the SWC. But I don't know that there aren't better ones. But it's what I use.
