The only flat nose punch Lyman made was the #344 and that punch has not been available for years. I poked around on Google and darn if my buddy Al at NOE is busy making them! Every cast bullet I shoot has a flat nose so that was easy!

Re: NOE Nose Punches for Lyman/RCBS
I wish Al over at NOE had come out with them sooner but I got a 3 pack set that will covers all my bases form Tom over at Accurate Molds for $8 shipped. No need for Al to worry as my annual new mold purchase as a gift . to myself will be coming up in a couple weeks. In fact RD it's one of your 165 gr. FN 30 cal. molds.

Re: NOE Nose Punches for Lyman/RCBS
Couldn't you use the seating die stem that it comes with and fill the ogive with epoxy? I've done it and it works for me.

Re: NOE Nose Punches for Lyman/RCBS
Are you thinking bullet seating die? These are flat nose punches for the Lyman Lubesizer which doesn't come with any nose punches. I guess you could buy & fill in a Lyman punch but I'd rather just buy exactly what I need.daboone wrote:Couldn't you use the seating die stem that it comes with and fill the ogive with epoxy?
