Case Champfer with Taper Reamer

[Ganderite]

One of the handiest gadgets in my loading room is a taper reamer. I bought this one at Lee Valley for about $15.

I chuck it in my electric drill and clamp the drill in a vice, while running at a slowish speed. I then take a bucket of brass and run each case mouth over the reamer.

The shallow angle makes it easy to seat any bullet without scratching.

I like using a sharp and otherwise unused carbide ball die grinder burr for deburring cases.

I cheat. I use one of my metal lathes to turn the burr.
