They’re specific to nose profiles. Molds usually have the top punch listed on the label. A flat punch can be used for flat nose bullets or base first sizing, they’re available aftermarket.

I believe there was a guy over at Castboolits who was making them and I believe one or more of the custom mold makers offers them as well. I just don’t remember which one. I make my own but realize not everyone has use of a lathe.

Thanks,
My problem comes from having molds that are no longer made by the original manufacturer. Example: my 41 mold from Lyman for # 410459. They also no longer make the top punch............. I’ll find something. Wondering if a top punch for a WFN from LBT might not work just like a flat punch on my Lubrisizer.
