Lyman Top Punch 191

• Bullet-Nose Matched Profile: The Lyman Top Punch 191 is machined to match the bullet nose shape, helping the lube-sizer apply pressure evenly so the bullet keeps its intended profile during sizing and lubrication.
• Cleaner Sizing Results: By supporting the bullet correctly from the top, this punch reduces the risk of nose deformation, which matters when consistent bullet shape is important for repeatable loading results.
• Steel Construction: The steel body stands up well to repeated bench use and maintains its shape over time, making it a practical choice for regular cast-bullet work.
• Made for Lyman Lube/Sizing Equipment: This top punch is intended for use with Lyman bullet sizing setups, where it becomes the contact point that helps the press handle cast bullets correctly and consistently.
• RCBS Interchangeability: The design is interchangeable with RCBS top punches, which gives reloaders more flexibility when integrating it into an existing cast-bullet sizing setup.

About the Lyman Accessories Series

The Lyman Accessories series covers the practical tools and bench components that support the company’s reloading and bullet-casting equipment. Rather than focusing on one single stage of the process, this family is built around the smaller but essential parts that keep a loading bench working efficiently, from case-preparation tools to bullet-casting accessories and press-related components. In Lyman’s lineup, these products sit alongside the brand’s presses, dies, moulds and sighting equipment as the pieces that turn a basic setup into a more complete working system.

Within cast-bullet loading in particular, Lyman accessories for lube and sizing equipment are designed to keep bullet handling controlled and repeatable. Components such as top punches and sizing dies are made to fit specific bullet shapes or tasks, which is important because cast bullets respond best when pressure is applied in the right place. The series reflects Lyman’s long-standing focus on reloading equipment: straightforward mechanical design, durable materials and compatibility with established bench tools. For reloaders who cast and size their own bullets, these accessories are the parts that help maintain bullet shape, support smooth operation and keep the process consistent from one batch to the next.

About the Lyman Top Punch 191

The Lyman Top Punch 191 is a dedicated bullet-sizing accessory made for cast-bullet reloaders who use Lyman lube/sizing equipment. Its job is simple but important: it contacts the bullet from above during the sizing and lubrication process, and its profile is made to fit the bullet nose shape correctly. That fit matters because a poorly matched punch can mark or flatten the nose, while a correctly matched one helps preserve the bullet’s intended form.

In practical use, the precise nose fit helps distribute pressure more evenly as the bullet is run through the sizer. This reduces the chance of deformation and supports more uniform finished bullets, which is especially useful when working with cast projectiles where nose shape and consistency are part of overall loading quality. The steel construction suits repeated bench use and gives the part the durability expected from a tool that is installed, removed and used regularly during calibre or bullet-style changes.

Because it is part of a numbered top-punch system, the 191 pattern is selected to match specific bullet designs rather than serving as a general-purpose contact piece. That makes it a practical choice for reloaders who want their bullet-casting setup tuned to a particular mould or projectile profile. Its interchangeability with RCBS also adds flexibility for benches that combine equipment from more than one established reloading brand.

About Lyman

The Lyman Gun Sight Company began in 1878 in Middlefield, Connecticut, and the brand has long been associated with practical equipment for shooters and reloaders. Lyman makes equipment and accessories for shooting and reloading, with product lines that include reloading dies, presses, bullet-casting equipment and gun sights. That broad focus helps explain why the company remains closely tied to bench tools and components used by handloaders.

Lyman Products is headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut, and its history in reloading was strengthened when it acquired the Ideal reloading-tool business in 1925. The company later expanded its family of brands, with Pachmayr joining in 1996 and Mark 7 Reloading becoming a Lyman brand in 2019. Across these product areas, Lyman has built a reputation around durable, purpose-built tools for shooters who value mechanical simplicity and established reloading methods.
