    Lee 312-155-2r

    I want to start loading this bullet for my SKS but Lee does not make a top punch for it. Does anyone know what top punch would be the proper one to use?
    Thanks

    NOE makes a very similar mold - you can contact AL and see if his will work with Lee's mold.

    Castpics is a good reference for finding that. A #467 fits.

    Being in a rush, the first time I ran those through a lube sizer I used the nearest top punch I had (for a 311-299 style boolit). It blunted the nose just a little but it didnt effect the feed in the rifles I've tried them in.
    It's only hubris if I'm wrong.

    The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook #4, page 295 lists #413 for the Lee 312-155-2R. I use the #467.

    The Lyman #413 is a perfect match. That's what I use.

    I know this is thread has some age on it but I have the same mold. I used crumpled up tin foil in my bullet seating die to make it fit.
