The proud tradition and history of Lyman Products began simply in the late 1800’s when William Lyman, an avid outdoorsman and inventor, created a product that resolved problems with gun sights of his day. The No. 1 Tang Sight, patented in 1879, represented a great improvement over the existing vernier sights of the time. While they were adequate in optimal conditions, Lyman wanted a sight that would work as well in adverse lighting. His innovative design launched the Lyman Gun Sight Company, and today, the Lyman tang and receiver sights still utilize the same principles originated over 130 years ago to enhance both the sight picture and the speed of aiming.

Through the years, Lyman has continued to develop innovative products for shooters and reloaders, carrying on the legacy of William Lyman. In 1925, the Lyman family purchased Ideal reloading products, which included the well-known Ideal reloading handbooks. Today, Lyman reloading handbooks are still the reloader’s most respected and sought out source of data. In addition, Lyman has expanded and innovated a broad range of reloading and bullet casting tools and accessories.
