Lyman's carbide VLD chamfer/reamer features a precision 22-degree cutting angle designed for boat-tail bullets. Long-lasting carbide construction cuts easier than standard 45-degree reamers and works with case prep machines or handheld.
The Lyman VLD (Very Low Drag) Chamfer/Reamer is an essential tool for serious reloaders who demand precision and durability. This specialized case prep tool addresses a critical issue: protecting your premium boat-tail bullets from damage during the loading process.
Unlike standard 45-degree chamfer reamers, the VLD's gentle 22-degree cutting angle is specifically engineered for long boat-tail bullet designs. This shallow angle allows bullets to enter the case neck smoothly without the sharp edges of standard reamers cutting into the delicate boat-tail geometry. The result is improved accuracy and bullet integrity.
This tool is manufactured from precision-ground carbide—a material that will last a lifetime without showing signs of wear. For high-volume reloaders, carbide construction eliminates the frustration of frequent tool replacement and delivers consistent results across thousands of rounds.
Eliminate hand fatigue and blisters associated with repetitive case neck reaming. Whether you're preparing 50 rounds or 5,000, the Lyman VLD Chamfer/Reamer reduces physical strain while maintaining precision.
This is a tool that pays for itself through improved accuracy and reduced bullet waste.
