nemasis243 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Was asked a question yesterday by someone who is justing reloading, "HOW MUCH CHAMFER DO I PUT ON A CASE WHEN PREPPING"? Is there a set rule for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I use as little as possible: Just enough to break the edge of the burr raised by trimming. I get away with this because I lightly bell the case mouth of all the rounds I load so the bullet always seats evenly. This is a technique that hasn't made it across the Pond yet, I think. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 We do do that Andrew, but only on lead bullets, .44, .357, 45-70 etc. I use a vld angle chamfer tool on all my cases personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I used one but didn't like the thinning of the brass so I switched to the taper tool. I always use a neck expander for the cartridges you mentioned, as well as any that shoot lead bullets, but the use of the neck expander with jacketed loads is very slick indeed. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Don't shoot all the dogs??? That goes against my nature, I'm afraid! I at least have to shoot AT them! Prairiedog season is cranking in South Dakota, Andy. My brother tells me he is sitting 35 prairiedog hunters each morning for breakfast at his lodge. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehole Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 just a very light chamfer inside and out followed up by a polish with fine grade wire wool on a mop attached to a slow drill or lathe mounted wire wool holder,thats what i do anyway and works fine.Heads just slide in easy,no stress or marking of bullet jacket at all.Onehole.
