Redding Piloted VLD (Very Low Drag) Chamfer Tool
$35.58
The Redding Piloted VLD (Very Low Drag) Chamfer Tool is a precision case mouth chamfering solution for reloaders who demand clean, concentric cuts across a wide range of cartridges. Built around a piloted design with an adjustable rod and accessory handle, this tool maintains concentricity between the I.D. chamfer and case mouth—critical for consistent seating and ballistic performance. Whether you're prepping .22 or .45 caliber cases, the piloted system ensures repeatability without the guesswork of freehand chamfering.
The 15° inside cutting angle is engineered specifically for VLD (Very Low Drag) bullet profiles, making this tool ideal if you're running modern, high-ballistic-coefficient projectiles that demand precise mouth geometry. Hardened, precision-ground flutes in the cutting head produce clean, chatter-free results—no torn brass or rough edges that can compromise bullet seating or accuracy. The adjustable pilot rod accommodates different cartridge lengths, so a single tool covers everything from short magnum cases to long-action rifle rounds.
This is a tool for serious handloaders who understand that case preparation quality directly affects group size and velocity consistency. If you're already invested in match-grade bullets and precision powders, your case prep should match that standard. The Redding piloted chamfer delivers that level of control and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this chamfer tool work with different cartridge lengths?
Yes. The piloted rod and adjustable accessory handle are designed to accommodate different cartridge lengths, making the tool versatile across a wide range of rifle and pistol cases from .22 to .45 caliber.
What does the 15° chamfer angle do?
The 15° angle is optimized for VLD (Very Low Drag) bullet profiles. It creates the precise mouth geometry these modern, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets require for consistent seating and performance.
How does the piloted design improve chamfering?
The pilot guides the cutting head concentrically to the case mouth I.D., ensuring the chamfer is perfectly aligned every time. This eliminates variables and produces uniform results across every case you prep.
