    Old information on the .243, can anyone update?

    I am currently casting with a Lyman 245498, about a 99 gr. bullet for .243 win. I need to find a top punch (498?) and it is apparently no where to be found. This information I got out of an old lyman mold manual that must be pushing 20 years old. I am not sure what to use for a top punch and was wondering if anyone can bring me up to speed.


    Thanks.
    -Brandon

    Look up The Perfesser or however he spells it down in the Vendor section. He will make you a blank that you use hot melt glue or JMWeld to mold to your boolit. Viola, instant custom nose punch.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
