    What top-punch for Lee .45 230 TC

    For you gents that use this bullet does anybody run it through a Lyman/RCBS sizer? If so, what top punch are you using?

    Looks like a Lyman 460 will work.

    Thanks

    Finding the right top punch for Lee bullets brings back a old military saying, improvise, adapt and overcome. Later David
