Lyman Top Punch #495, 9mm/.38 Caliber Wadcutter

The Lyman Top Punch #495 (Lyman part no. 2786769) is precision-machined to match the nose profile of 9mm and .38-caliber wadcutter bullets, keeping them round and undamaged through the sizing and lubing process. Lyman shapes every top punch to a specific bullet nose rather than a one-size-fits-all cone, which is what protects cast wadcutter bullets from getting nicked or deformed during sizing. This punch fits Lyman’s 450/4500 lube-sizer as well as the RCBS Lube-a-Matic-2 bullet sizer, so it works across two of the most common cast-bullet sizing setups. It’s a small, caliber-specific part that pays for itself the first time it saves a batch of cast bullets from getting marred.
