Been casting for a little while, never had anything called that in my very limited tool selection. Would like to see what one is, how it's used, pictures possible?

It's the thing that fits over the nose of the boolit to push it down into a base-first sizer. Needs to pretty closely fit the shape of the boolit nose inside, to keep from deforming it.

A hit above the belt?
But, seriously, folks.....Midway.com has photos of Lyman, RCBS and SAECO top punches, under bullet casting.

If the poster is using a Lee push thru sizer (or Starr) he would never NEED a top punch. Only us "old fogies" still use them!

I knew I'd catch it... Thanks, guys, I didn't know, and yes, I use the Lee push through sizers.
