Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Top Punch for Lyman Parker Hale Bullet

Folks, I have looked all over the "innanet" and can't find a source that gives the correct Lyman top punch for the 457121 Parker Hale bullet.

My first thought is to use Top Punch # 191 as it is for a number of .457 cal flat nose designs, but Lyman has seen fit to put the 457121 down in the "Black Powder & Slug" section which does not list top punches.

Any guesses?

Thanks,

Ed

It is the same top punch as the Lyman 457193. If you have a set of LYMAN dies, they come with two seating stems. One for the flat nosed bullet, and one for the spitzer.

Ed I have a box full of top punches but this RCBS #344 works the best of the flat nose punches I have and is only 3/32 larger dia.I secure the top punch,don't need to keep it loose or grease it up as it works and no punch dings whatsoever.

Thanks, Woody and Bill!
