Top punch for Lyman 35891

[Yonk]

I have a RCBS lubrasizer coming and I need to get the correct top punch and sizing die for it. I am pretty sure I need the .358 sizing die, but I am not sure what top punch I need for the Lyman 35891 bullets that I am casting.

Lyman #495 should be the right one.

Or, get any .358 SWC punch and fill the nose with JB weld, then sand it flat.

Yeap, 495 is what they post

Ya need ta get a Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, latest version. It’s got all the dies, top punch’s, I think it might even have a chart for Lee boolets ( sorry to lazy to get up and look). Not to Mention the plethora of other useful information and load data and it!

I custom fit a SWC to fit the WC boolit with a little J-B Weld Epoxy Putty ...thinking it would fall out sooner or later ...that was 25 years ago at least and I'm still using it for WC seating .

A flat punch will also seat them ... in fact a flat one will seat ANY boolit with a flat spot on it ...
Truth be known I've seated a bunch of RN boolits with a flat punch when I was in a hurry and didn't feel like looking for the RN punch ...worked just fine !

I found a 495 on ebay. Thanks for the recommendations. I have the 3rd edition of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, it was sitting way back in my reference library, but I could not find the punch chart in it. I guess I will need to upgrade to the latest version.
