Lyman VLD Inside Chamfer Tool (Very Low Drag)
The Lyman VLD Inside Chamfer Tool (Very Low Drag) is a specialized case preparation accessory designed for reloaders seeking optimal bullet seating and accuracy, particularly when loading Very Low Drag (VLD) and boat tail bullets. This tool is engineered to precisely chamfer the inside of cartridge case necks, reducing the risk of bullet jacket damage and ensuring smooth, consistent seating. It is ideal for precision reloaders, competitive shooters, and hunters who demand reliable performance from their handloads.
Product Overview
Constructed with hardened steel, the Lyman VLD Inside Chamfer Tool features a 22-degree cutting angle specifically tailored for VLD and similar boat tail bullet profiles. Unlike standard 45-degree reamers, this tool creates a shallower, smoother chamfer that allows long, tapered bullets to enter the case mouth without scraping or deformation. The ergonomic design ensures comfortable manual operation, whether used as a standalone tool or with a compatible case prep station. Its compact size makes it easy to incorporate into any reloading setup, and it is suitable for a wide range of rifle and pistol calibers. This tool is a valuable addition for reloaders aiming to maximize accuracy and prolong case life.

Further Product Details
This tool is particularly beneficial for reloaders working with VLD, match, or other long boat tail bullets, where a precise inside chamfer is essential to prevent bullet base shaving and to achieve optimal concentricity. It is compatible with a broad range of case neck diameters, making it suitable for both common and less conventional calibers.
