Lyman 450 question

[richhodg66]

What is the thread of the little allen head set screw that holds the top punch in? Missing one and need to make a trip to the hardware store.

I just put a dab of lube on the top of the top punch shoulder. That holds it in place and allows the top punch to self align with the boolit if necessary.

While I'm not 100% positive, a 10-24 "fits" but is the wrong thread pitch. So whatever the fine thread is, I believe 10-32. I counted 9 threads in a quarter inch on the thread of the screw in mine, which works out to 32 tpi.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find one tomorrow.
