Lyman top punch dimensions?

[Inverness]

All,

I’d like to turn my own top punch for my new (to me) Lyman 45. I want to make a flat face punch for round nose flat point .452 slugs. I don’t have another one to measure. Could any one give me some hints on how deep to make the punch? I’m assuming make the punch a few thou smaller than the die (.450?). 227204Thanks!

Hello Inveness,

I measured a few top punches, this should work for you.
