His forum handle is theperfessor.

If he's back into production, order a few to have available for any future nose profiles you might need.

It sounds like it will be several months before he is back at it.

He has a quality product at a good price, he just needs to get his health in order.

If you can wait till he's back he makes real nice stuff with upgrades to them like no set screws!! I bought some of his top punches and the magnetic wrench for the retainer bolt for the lower die it works GREAT!!

I bought the same. He does real nice work. I hope he feels better soon.

racer, one doesn't need a TP for every bullet shape ... I have punches just for the calibers I shoot - with many different nose shapes. Take a hot glue gun, put the glue in the punch pocket, spit on the bullet you want to use - lightly twist the nose in the glue. When it hardens, take a razor blade and cut the excess glue from the outside of the punch - Done
