I use Top Punch #8 for my LEE 8mm Karabiner mold to deal with it's flat nose.

Good Luck! I don't have your mold, I have its "little" sister but I hope it works for you!

Custom fit the punch to the boolit with a small ball of epoxy putty. Clean the inside of the nose punch cavity, install in lube sizer , lube the bullet nose, put the epoxy ball inside the nose punch and run it down onto the boolit with moderate pressure, remove any excess putty. Leave the handle resting down on the boolit , it will harden and you have a perfectly fitted punch.
