    Lyman top punch list?

    Has anyone yet compiled a list of Lyman top punches and what boolit they fit? I'm aware that the last 3 numbers of the boolit usually match the T.P. used but I'm looking for a database indexed by the T.P. number.. Heck, if it doesn't exist, maybe I'll make one myself?

    TD,

    Have you looked at the Top Punch list on our sister site CastPics?

    Grinch, thanks a bunch! That is exactly what I had in mind but it is rather incomplete but a great place to start.. I had a handfull of punches and only 2 were on the list. A bit of research is required!

    There is a list in the back of Lyman's #4 Cast Bullet Handbook; however it only lists current designs, IIRC.

    Old catalogs may have a list your looking for. When I get back from out of town I'll see what I have.
