Need thoughts on top punch...

[220swiftfn]

I have a NOS Lyman 452488 that I'm going to get up and running, and it calls for a 374 top punch, which is a punch for a round nose..... I was wondering if I should be getting a top punch for the Saeco 130 (same profile as the 452488), or is using the round nose punch a non-issue????


Thanks....

I have a rather large assortment of top punches. I just sort thru' them and use the one that seems to fit best, which often isn't the one specs call for.

Contact Cast Boolilts member the perfessor. He makes hollowed out top punches that you can adapt to any nose profile, by applying hot melt glue or epoxy. He charges $8.50, which includes postage.
