which top punch?

[Col. Harrumph]

I'm trying to identify the top punch to match Lyman 313631. I have the mould but not the box it came in, so lost the label that identified the punch. Can you help?

Lyman Mold 313631 Top Punch Number ?

Have the mold, but none of my Lyman Cast Manuals have the mold listed. Does anyone know what top punch this mold requires ?

Look at post 3.
Hope this helps. According to that member your mold uses top punch #8.

Thank you Tiger! (and pls excuse the dup post... dunno how I did that)

UPDATE: and some free advice to you young'uns: when you buy a mould, buy its top punch too... and keep them together!

I've found top punches to vary. I've had several #8s and some where looser than others. I have found though that on my 31141 bullet, the #402 top punch fit is much better. I did round the edge on the #402 by spinning it in my drill. If you have one of those, it'd be worth a try.
