top punches

[Timmer]

please advise me. where do I find the top sizing punch for the molds I own. Is there a chart that I can reference? I have 7 molds but no idea where I should go to determ their top punch for a sizing press. Thanks.

I no longer have the address but if your sizer is a Lyman try a Google search with Lyman sizer punches as the key words

Try Midsouth Shooters Supply or MidwayUSA's web-sites, and enter their stock number for your mould number. Usually, they will give the appropriate top punch.

You can also call Lyman at 800 225-9626. I recently called about a top punch for a very old lyman mould. The lady I spoke with was very helpful. Since I had the mould number she was able to look up exactly which top punch I needed and most amazing of all they actually still had one in "New old stock". Obviously if your mould is of other manufacture they won't be able to help you.

You won`t find any sort of top punch chart for LEE moulds. You must use a half-way fit from another similar mould. Make your own on a lathe or use body filler in a larger mould top punch for a cured fit. Never did figure out why there hasn`t been a compatable size chart made for LEE moulds.:castmine:Robert

I never understood why Lee doesn't offer top punches for their bullet moulds...seems logical that they would...I'd certainly have purchased quite a few had they done so.

I found all but one. A Lyman #311466 mold that throws a 150/152 grain bullet. I know an oldie but a goodie in my 30-30. Any idea which top punch to use. Thanks for all of your help.
