I seem to have lost the top punch for the Lee 379-250-RF mould for my 38-55. I'm sure it was probably a Lyman punch. does anyone know what the number is so I can order another?
Thanks.

Re: Lost Me Top Punch
Since that is a flat nosed bullet, you can probably just use a piece of quarter inch rod with the end filed flat as a top punch.

I bet the 449 Lyman will work

I found it! It's flat like for a wadcutter type bullet but I know I have the #449 as well. This forum is terrible about keeping you logged in. I go to another tab, come back here and have to log in again despite checking the "Log me on automatically" box each visit.
