Hornady 050172 Lock-N-Load Multi-Caliber Chamfer Tool - Silver

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Chamfer Tool eliminates sharp edges on case mouths that can damage bullets during seating and reduce accuracy. This precision reloading tool creates consistent chamfers across multiple calibers, ensuring smooth bullet insertion and improved concentricity.

What Makes This Different

Unlike fixed-angle chamfer tools, the Lock-N-Load design features an adjustable cutting head that accommodates various case wall thicknesses. The hardened steel construction maintains sharp cutting edges through thousands of uses, while the ergonomic handle provides controlled pressure application. This tool produces uniform chamfers that standard deburring tools simply cannot match.

Key Features

• Multi-caliber compatibility from .22 to .45 caliber cases
• Hardened steel cutting head with precision-ground edges
• Adjustable depth control for consistent chamfer angles
• Knurled aluminum handle for secure grip during use
• Silver anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
• Compatible with standard reloading bench setups
• Replaceable cutting insert extends tool life

Reloaders using this chamfer tool report improved bullet seating consistency and reduced case mouth splitting. The uniform chamfers eliminate the slight variations that can affect bullet concentricity and downrange accuracy. Competition shooters particularly value the tool's ability to process large batches of cases with identical results, while hunters appreciate the reliability it brings to their handloaded ammunition.
