Chamfering

[nmkid]

In the last 4-5 years I have started paying closer attention to my loading practices. As I have started a personal quest for the best accuracy I can obtain from my rifles I have had many questions. This is my current thought(?). How important is chamfering in the accuracy quest? Most chamfering tools are handheld and thusly, in my mind introduce the human error factor. Is it possible to hold, spin a case/chamfer tool and obtain an almost perfect bevel? I would think not but, then what do I know?! LOL. What are you using to chamfer your brass? Could I possibly be over thing this step?

The chamfering cut is to keep the bullet sides from being scratched when it enters the neck, and to ease the entry. Any of the tools do a good job of it, and a VLD style is a plus if your using VLD style bullets..
Using the tool by hand is not a problem concerning accuracy...
Keep it cutting as straight as you can and all will be good.....
