chamfer or not to chamfer?

[oops]

do your guys chamfer and debur every time you reload or only if you have had to trim. I have been doing it every time but I'm curious if it is really necessary.

thanks for the response but just to add.. what difference would the bullet make? still new to reloading.

a boat tail bullet is tapered in the rear so it will center itself in the casing even it it isn't chamfered, whereas a bullet with a 90* base needs a chamfer in the case to help get it started.

thanks
