Lyman is the oldest current manufacturer of metallic aperture sights, telescopic rifle sights, bullet casting moulds and related equipment, metallic reloading dies and presses, reloading handbooks, and add on shot gun chokes in the United States. One hundred years in business is an accomplishment which would not have been possible without the interest and support of the American shooter. C. Kenneth Ramage, was an American retail company executive. He was a member of Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Association (president 1985-1986), National Muzzleloading Rifle Association, Cast Bullet Association, Association Importers & Manufacturers for Muzzleloading 1980-1983. 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 commonly used vernier sights were adequate for daytime shooting, but almost useless if lighting was not perfect. Lyman's No. 1 Tang Sight featured a small disc and a large aperture, a combination that made the thin rim almost invisible and greatly improved the shooter's vision. His patented design launched the Lyman Gun Sight Company, and today, the Lyman tang and receiver sights still utilize the same principles originated over 137 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. Since then, Lyman handbooks have become known as the "bible" of reloading, and are considered the most trusted source for data.
