I have purchased a Lyman mold 338320 double cavity for my .33 Winchester. What size # top punch is needed? Not listed by Lyman.
Where can I find a top punch for sizing/lubbing?
Thanks!
Jim

I don't have a clue - but I'd look at lyman literature that tells which top punch fits the bullet. Top punches are listed with/for molds. As on Castpics, the top punch is 320.

Looking at the mold reference page on castpics shows a flat nosed boolit that calls for top punch #320, good luck finding one. What I would do is cut off a bolt that will fit in the ram on your sizer, to make a flat faced punch; I have done this for thirty caliber boolits.
