    Looking for lyman top punch.

    I have a lyman lubisizor and I'm looking to find what top punch fits the lee .515 350 grain round. I have called lyman and they did not know I also checked with lodge wood and they didn't know as well. I hoping someone on here knows.
    Thanks!

    Word of caution about using flat nose punches. A correctly profiled nose punch acts to center your bullet into the size die. A flat one doesn't, allowing the bullet to be misaligned, causing the grease grooves to be "wiped" on one side.

    I'm not being smart on this. Experience is a hard teacher.
