Hi
I have a RCBS Mould (45-255-KT) and I need a top punch for it and I have read that it should be the RCBS punsh #424.
but my supplier don't have RCBS, they only have Lyman.
so my question is: are Lyman #424 the same as RCBS #424?

I'm 99% sure they are the same, i.e. interchangeable.
This web page says that as well:

With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
(I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

Make a flat TP from a 1/4" shank bolt by polishing it smooth and round using a electric drill and a file and don't look back. That's all I use on my FP bullets./beagle

Lyman and RCBS TP #'s are not the same, enterchangeable, yes, but not the same.
Now after saying that, there are few of the same caliber that have the same # and fit the same boolit design, IE Lyman 452460, 452630 and RCBS 45-200 SWC have the same TP# but there still not the same.
To solve the problem, follow beagles advice
