Lyman 356634 top punch?

[Anonym]

Picked up a Lyman 450 and am trying to find the various top punches for the boolits I cast. Well, I haven't found anything to indicate which one works for the Lyman 356634 I have. Sent an email to Lyman without a response, so maybe they don't know either. Anyone know?

The 429 should work on that bullet.

Many thanks!

Just got a response back from Lyman. They recommend the 402 top punch. I'm assuming the punch just has a flat surface for the boolit's meplat, right? I'll have to keep my eye out for either one unless someone has experience that says otherwise.

There are numerous posts on this site telling how to fit top punches to your boolits using hot melt glue or epoxy. Forming your own will give you a much better fit than the factory top punches.

Nice. Looks like I need to whip out my search-fu skills and do some reading!
