Top punches for sale

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.

Yes his work is exceptional. I was surprised by the retainer O ring. Very good idea.
Keith could you make a flat faced top punch that has about a 1.5 to 2 " stem? I have made temporary wood punches but I would like 1 that is permamant. I use my Lyman lube sizer as a push through sizer. And it needs a longer stud to push the bullet past the sizing part of the die. If the stud isn't long enough the second bullet plugs the die when it hits the first bullet.
I understand my request would be more expensive.

I just put in an order for some cupped punches, should have custom punches for about everything I cast now. These are very nice and easy to customize to your bullet. Thanks Keith.
