Ok so love the NOE sizing system but having probls crimping gas check ,apparently it works better if you size the boolits base first but you need a top punch for that. Their only $5 A piece so that's no big deal how ever I'm kinda confused about which one I need. I have a lee 55grn .225 and a lee .312 155gr. I need the Lyman version I know that much just not sure which size. Any help would be appreciated

Use this chart to find a similar boolit. The Top Punches are listed as TP at the end of the description.

NOE also has detailed drawings of their bullets. Just find the one that is closest to your bullets.

Seating GC's base first does not guarantee they go on flat. You need to seat them first, then size. If you have a Lyman sizer then get their GC seating attachment.
