    What Lyman top punch?

    I have a Lee 45 cal 230 TC bullet and wondering if anyone had a idea which top punch would work in my RCBS sizer. Thanks

    If you go to the RCBS website and look up the 44 cal silhouette boolit, that top punch should work. I don't think RCBS has a 45 TC boolit. They might though, I haven't perused their site in awhile. I'm too busy reloading and casting.
    If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, be careful where you walk.
    Beware the man that only owns one gun; he probably knows how to use it.

    Buy a spire point and flat nose punch for your specific calibers ... that all you need for any bullet mold

    When you go to lube/size - take a piece of heavy aluminum foil and fold it over into a small square. Put some lube on one side - set the foil on top of the nose and close the handle. Instant custom nose punch for any of the molds
    Regards
