Brownells Rifle/Handgun Master Facing/Chamfering Set W/Steel Pilots

The Brownells Rifle/Handgun Master Facing/Chamfering Set with Steel Pilots is a comprehensive gunsmithing tool system designed for serious reloaders, gunsmiths, and precision-minded shooters who need to recondition or true up fired brass and firearm muzzles. This master set brings together everything required to face rifle cases, chamfer handgun rounds, and crown rifle muzzles in one organized package—eliminating the need to buy individual components separately.

The set includes three precision cutters (90°, 45°, and 79° configurations) plus a single handle that accepts all cutter heads, allowing you to switch between angles for different applications. The real value lies in the pilot assortment: 17 rifle muzzle pilots, 10 revolver cylinder pilots, 5 handgun bore pilots, and 8 rifle/handgun muzzle pilots in various diameters. Steel pilots provide the durability and precision alignment needed for repeat use across your ammunition and firearm maintenance work. The flip-storage box with foam insert keeps everything organized and protected, making it easy to find the right pilot for the job and transport the set to your reloading bench or gunsmith station.

Whether you're prepping match-grade rifle ammunition, reconditioned brass, or performing crown work on rifles and handguns, this system covers both rifle and handgun applications without forcing you to purchase two separate sets. Note that this master set does not include .17 caliber pilots; Brownells offers a dedicated .17 Caliber Master Set for those specific cartridges if needed.

The angled cutters create beveled edges on cartridge cases and muzzles for improved function and appearance.

Can I use this set for both rifle and handgun work?

Yes, this is a master set designed to handle both rifle and handgun applications. It includes dedicated pilots for rifle muzzles, revolver cylinders, and handgun bores, making it suitable for reloaders and gunsmiths who work with multiple firearm types.
