I just got a new Lee 312-155-2r mold to try in my SKS. Got around 100 boolits cast this afternoon as a "trial bunch", then sized/gas checked them to .311 in my Lachmiller lubesizer (same as the RCBS).
They look pretty good and will shoot as is, but the nose punch I'm using leaves a faint ring at the beginning of the ogive. Can anyone suggest a top punch that won't produce this mark? Lyman top punches will work also.
It's a very minor flaw, but it bugs me!
