We offer two basic types of top punches for Lyman/RCBS and Saeco style luber/sizers:
Our flat face punches work for any bullet design that has a flat nose. This includes wadcutters, semi-wadcutters, round w/a flat, and truncated cone designs. We offer these in every caliber but in truth two or three basic sizes can cover a large range of calibers.
Our cup face top punches are designed to be the basis for making perfectly fitting conformal top punches. It only takes a few minutes, a little bit of epoxy (I use JB Weld®), and a sample bullet and you can make a top punch that will fit perfectly without marking or distorting the bullet's nose. Complete instructions on how to make perfectly fitting top punches are in a sticky here; a paper copy is included with each purchase. These are caliber specific, we offer top punches in 22 different sizes that cover the range of calibers from .22 to .50.

Our Lyman/RCBS top punches also have an O-ring integrated into the stem. Put away the annoying little Allen wrench you can never find when you need it! Back out the set screw to clear the hole and just insert our top punch into your ram - the O-ring holds it in place with no tools needed. No need to mark up the stem of your top punches or raise a burr with a set screw. It only takes a few seconds to change top punches.
