For every type of tool used in reloading
ammunition, there are some tools that do the job much better than others. These are two popular case chamfering
reamers. They are both designed to remove the burr after case trimming, and they cut a specific angle on the mouth of
your cases.
These reamers provide different angles that allow
your bullet to be pressed into your case without deforming the case or
shaving the bullet. The particular angle that they cut is quite
different and that angle is important for getting the best results.
The tool on the right is called a "very low drag" (VLD) chamfer
reamer. It was designed for seating VLD type bullets that have a
very shallow angle at the rear. I have found that the angle cut
by these reamers is far better than the tool on the left for reloading any rifle
caliber from .22 - .30 caliber. Long before the reloading
equipment manufacturers produced VLD reamers, many shooters have been
making their own. Shortly after these VLD reamers became readily
available, they became very popular. This tool just took
reloading ammunition one small step forward. When you're
reloading ammunition, it's usually the small details that will make the
most improvement. This VLD reamer will eliminate shaving bullets
during the seating operation.
