Lyman or rcps flat top punch?

[buck1]

Thats RCBS... OOPS!.
Anybody have a # for a Lyman or RCBS top punch that it just flat with no lip?
I am sizing 45 cal RNFPS and keep getting the ring around the boolit.
Thanks all....Buck :drinks:

I just made one from an RCBS seating punch by grinding off the outside shoulder until only the inside flat face of the punch touched the flat boolit nose. Simple, cheap, no ring around the ogive.

The picture on the left is what the RCBS seating punch did to the NEI 41 mag bullet. On the right is after I modified the punch but I didn't have a pic of one seated but that is what it looks like seated.

Hope this helps,

Contact Buckshot. A couple of years back he made me a set of plain flat-faced blank top punches in each of the standard handgun calibers. They should do the job for you, except that you will have to take a bit of extra care to see the boolits are started square into the die.

Absolutely, good point, I should have mentioned this also but it does work, very well in fact.
