Top Punch

[augois]

I recently purchased a Lee 309-170-FN Mold for use in my 30/30....was wondering what Top punch y'all use in a Lyman sizer?

I made a custom top punch for my Lee FN molds, but since then have just used the Lyman #8. It is much better to have the punch oversized since it allows the boolits to be sized straighter. Actually a punch that was machined straight across would work fine.

Thats all I have ever used on pistol loads that have a flat face or flat point. I have one for the 142Gn Button nosed wadcutter in the 38s, but the dead flat one did pretty much everything else.
