    Lyman #413
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    And if Lyman 413 isn't an exact and perfect fit ... custom fit the nose with a small ball of epoxy putty in the nose followed by the greased boolit nose , press together and let cure .
    Perfect Fit .

    I don't remember witch top pinch I used but I had one for round nose bullet and I drilled the in side so it would not touch the tip it worked very well if I did get a top punch mark on a cast bullet I pushed the bullet end of the loaded round in to some steel wool and gave it a few turns and it cleaned up real nice .
