The Redding Precision Inside Chamfering Tool (Model 09030) is a dedicated manual reloading tool designed to cut a precise 15° inside case mouth chamfer. Unlike standard 45° deburring tools, this 15-degree cutting profile creates a gentle, gradual taper that prevents bullet jacket shaving and reduces the seating force required for Very Low Drag (VLD) and boat-tail projectiles. Built with hardened, precision-ground tool steel flutes, the cutter features an integrated, adjustable central pilot shaft that locates directly inside the case primer flash hole to ensure uniform, chatter-free brass removal concentric to the case mouth axis.

Key Features

• 15° VLD Chamfer Profile: Features a low-angle 15-degree cutting head engineered specifically to seat boat-tail and VLD bullets without scraping or damaging delicate jacket material.
• Flash-Hole Centering Pilot: Uses an adjustable pilot rod that registers in the cartridge flash hole, maintaining true concentricity between the chamfer and the case neck.
• Precision-Ground Tool Steel: Equipped with hardened cutting flutes that provide smooth, chatter-free manual cutting without gouging brass case mouths.
• Manual Hand Operation: Fully mechanical design requiring no power source or electrical compliance, supplied with an Allen hex key for pilot depth adjustment.

Who is the Redding Precision Inside Chamfering Tool for?

• Long-range precision rifle handloaders — requires a 15° inside chamfer angle to seat boat-tail and VLD projectiles smoothly across cases from .22 calibre to .45 calibre without shaving jacket material.
• Benchrest competitive reloaders — benefits from a piloted VLD case chamfering tool weighing just 0.045 kg to 0.050 kg that registers inside the flash hole to guarantee perfectly concentric neck preparation on match brass.

Less suitable for: Handloaders preparing sub-calibre brass smaller than .22 calibre (such as .17 or .20 calibre), who require dedicated sub-calibre deburring tools or standard unpiloted hand chamfering equipment.
