Question for Lamar?
Or anyone else who might know!
I have a NOE mold for 44 mag/444 that is a copy of the Ranchdog molds that work so well in Marlin rifles. It drops right at .432. I have been hand lubing them. Tired of that process! A .430-431 can be polished out I'm sure. But have no idea what top punch would fit. Any ideas?

User “ammohead” will make you a custom H&I or Star resizing die with the proper punch insert.

Why not use a flat top punch, I use the same one for every bullet I cast & have done for many years.

yep a flat punch will work just fine.

once you make it from a simple [cut the head off] bolt it'll work for all sorts of sizes too.
