Lyman Top Punch 470

• Bullet-Nose Fit: The Top Punch 470 is machined to match the bullet nose profile, helping the lube-sizer apply pressure evenly so the nose keeps its intended shape during sizing.
• Better Casting Results: By reducing nose deformation, it supports more consistent finished bullets, which matters when uniformity is important in cast-bullet loading.
• Steel Construction: The steel body stands up to repeated use on the bench and resists wear in a tool that sees constant contact during bullet sizing work.
• Made for Lyman Lube/Sizing Equipment: This punch is designed for use with Lyman bullet-casting and sizing setups, making it a practical component for reloaders building a complete cast-bullet workflow.
• RCBS Compatibility: Its interchangeable fit with RCBS systems adds flexibility for reloaders who use mixed bench equipment and want to keep one casting setup running smoothly.

About the Lyman Accessories Series

Lyman Accessories covers the supporting tools and bench components that keep a reloading or bullet-casting setup working efficiently. Rather than focusing on one single machine, the series brings together the small but important parts used across case preparation, casting, sizing and general loading work. In practical terms, these are the items that help tailor a bench to a specific cartridge, bullet design or workflow.

Within the Lyman range, this series serves reloaders who want equipment that is straightforward, durable and built around established loading practices. The emphasis is on functional design, with components made to integrate into existing Lyman systems and, in some cases, cross over with other common brands. For cast-bullet shooters in particular, the series includes the dies, punches and related parts needed to match tooling to bullet shape and diameter. That makes Lyman Accessories especially relevant for handloaders who value repeatable setup, smooth bench operation and the ability to configure tools for specific bullet-casting tasks.

About the Lyman Top Punch 470

The Lyman Top Punch 470 is a dedicated bullet-sizing accessory for cast-bullet reloaders using Lyman lube/sizing equipment. Its job is simple but important: it supports the bullet from the nose while the sizing process takes place. When that contact surface matches the bullet correctly, pressure is distributed more evenly and the bullet nose is less likely to be marked or distorted. In practice, that helps preserve the bullet's intended profile instead of letting the sizing step alter it.

This matters most to reloaders who want a cleaner, more controlled casting workflow. A properly matched top punch helps the lube-sizer do its work without placing unnecessary stress on the front of the bullet, which is especially useful when working with cast designs where shape consistency matters. Steel construction gives the tool the durability expected from a bench accessory that may be installed and removed many times over its service life, while its compact form keeps it easy to store alongside sizing dies and other casting components.

Because Top Punch 470 is part of Lyman's established bullet-casting system, it fits naturally into a bench set up around Lyman equipment. It is also noted as interchangeable with RCBS, which adds flexibility for reloaders who combine tools from different brands. For anyone assembling a bullet-sizing setup around a specific mould and bullet profile, this accessory provides the correct interface between bullet and machine.

About Lyman

The Lyman Gun Sight Company began in 1878 in Middlefield, Connecticut. Over time, the company expanded from sight-making into a broader shooting and reloading business, and Lyman Products is now headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut. Its catalog covers equipment and accessories for shooting and reloading, including presses, dies, bullet-casting tools and gun sights.

Lyman has a long connection to traditional handloading and cast-bullet shooting. The company acquired the Ideal reloading-tool business in 1925, helping establish its place in the reloading market, and its product lines still reflect that depth in bench equipment and bullet-casting tools. For products such as sizing accessories, Lyman is known for practical designs intended to work within complete reloading systems rather than as stand-alone novelties.
