Gary; The easiest way to get a custom top punch for you sizer is:

  1. Acquire a top punch that is a little larger than what you need.  A little deeper and wider.
  2. Get some JB weld.
  3. Wax the top and sides of the bullet whose nose you want to fit.
  4. Rough up the inside of the top punch, and install it in you lubrisizer,  apply a glop of the mixed up JBWeld to the inside of the top punch.
  5. Press the top punch and JB Weld down onto the bullet, and keep it there until it sets up.
  6. Trim off the excess JB Weld compound and you have a custom top punch made to fit that bullet exactly. Good Luck Brodie
