Can anyone recommend a top punch that would work with a Lyman lubrisizer .576 sizing die and fit on the nose of a Hodgdon minie bullet (.576 mould, but casts almost .577). The one I have leaves a ring on the nose, even though I'm only sizing to .576, but I'm using pure lead. Thanks,

Try the punch for a 44 pistol bullet. I use that one with reasonable results.

I wouldn't worry too much about a ring on the nose of the bullet, the base is more important. If it bothers you, you could try filling in your top punch with epoxy and finishing it to a flat surface.
