New owner of a mint Lyman 266455 boolit mould, I have the sizing die to go with it, but along the way the top punch was misplaced. Not currently listed by Lyman and can't seem to find the correct number anywhere. Anyone out there know the right number for the TP? Thanks - Bill

The top punch is #455. I don' think that is available new.

There are mould reference tables on page 456 of the Lyman Reloading Handbook #46 edition. (1982)

I have an older version of Lyman's book and it listed that #, but a few like 311291 have had a number change on the top punch. Hoping that it was changed to something that's still available. I guess my search now begins for a second hand one.....Thanks Bill

You might try a #438. That is the seating screw number that is listed.
