    Is this a dished punch?

    Hello All,
    I traded into another star sizer and this was the top punch it had with a .452 sizer die. Is this considered a dished punch or was it designed for a specific bullet nose? Thanks in advance. Boats

    With the .452 sizer die that looks like a nose punch for one of the various 185 or 200 grain SWC nose punches.

    I’ve had the same issue here on the forum recently, bought a die with a “dished” punch and got a nose punch instead. Have a little collection of them going. Given the low cost and high value I’m mostly buying from lathesmith, so far I’ve gotten exactly what I order.
