theback40Question 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?

sixshot_01Why not use a flat top punch, I use the same one for every bullet I cast & have done for many years.

Lamaryep 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.
