    Top punch ?

    Mold is Lee TL 356-95 RF. I realize it’s a tumble bullet, I’m only sizing on the 450. Will be powder coating them.
    There is no top punch on the charts I’ve seen. Does any one know which one I need?
    I’m picking up mold today and would like to get the punch while I’m there.
    Thank you,
    David

    Since that is a round-flat any wadcutter or semi-wadcutter top punch will work. Look for a 344. 495, or 495 top punch.
    Some times it's the pot,
    Some times it's the pan,
    It might even be the skillet,
    But, most of the time, it's the cook.

    In a pinch, you can take one that is too wide, put a little dot of JB weld on it,
    set it and your boolit (lightly oiled) in the sizer, pull the lever down snug, and it will make the right top punch.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
