I started loading bullets from the group buy which was the 150gn, FN, GC 3 crimp groove bullet. Is the FN area size suppose to be compatible to an existing punch. If not, what are you guys using??

hiram, I do not know what that GB mold is but you can easily make a top punch
by using one that is close to the diameter and then putting a small amount of epoxy in the punch. Put the punch with the wet epoxy in your lub/sizer with a boolit. Let the weight of the Lub/sizer handle hold the top punch with epoxy down on the boolit. When the epoxy dries you will have a perfect fitting top punch.

Either epoxy it or chuck a TP in an electric drill and turn it flat with a file. Either will work./beagle
