    Though top punch numbers mostly differ.

    I asked the same question about top punches a couple of days ago and was referred to the top punch charts on Castpics.

    Yes, they will interchange in Lyman or RCBS sizers.

    Now, if you're doing some trick stuff with them like we are on our nose first sizing adapters, they may not as RCBS made a run for several years that had a small ring that was oversize up near the O-ring and they won't fit our adapters but they do fit the sizers.

    The older and newer seem to not have this ring on them./beagle

    Question Advice

    Trying to get setup for casting. I have a Lyman 45 Lubrisizer. Notice Lyman now makes 4500. Are the Dies and top punches interchangeable
