    HM2 225 62gr.

    Hi all, I recently bought one of these molds from JT and am in need of a top punch to fit this boolit.

    I just called there and he is out of town. The guy on the phone didn't think they make or sell them.

    I know a lot of you guys have this mold, what are you using for a top punch? Thanks!

    I quite sure JT never made top punches...at least he didn't with the first couple runs of that mold. I use one of the hollow-fill with epoxy type from theperfessor. Due to health issues he isn't making them right now, but He said he plans to get back into business later this year.

    I bet the Lyman #415 is pretty close.
    OR
    one from NOE for the 225 55Gr. FN (RCBS 22-055 FN clone)

    either one for the rcbs 055s or the saeco 60gr will work.
    the boolit has a small flat on the nose and a 1/4" bolt with the head cut off should center on that well enough to check and lube size.
