Just wondering who makes a cannelure cutter and do they have an online shop ?? It would need to be able to cut cannelures for bullets up to .458 and greater if at all possible
Thanks PC

I have the C&H tool. It works, but I have found it awkward to use. The manual Corbin tool (they make a powered version for volume use) looks like it they made it easier to place your weight over the cannelure cutting edge, thus reducing fatigue and making it easier to get the depth you want.
I have the Corbin and the CH tools, and use the CH constantly. It is a bit awkward, but it always gives me a good cannelure where I want it. The Corbin can slip, or it can dig in and ruin a bullet in my experience. Of course, it could be I just never adjusted the Corbin properly. But I put a lot of work into my 225-grain .378 bullets for .38-55, and hate to ruin them at the last step. My other Corbin stuff works GREAT!

Dave Corbin have them in stock Richard Corbin does NOT make them Dave Davison at CH has some ..
And unless your rifle has a very heavy recoil you don't need to Cannelure your bullet's
Canneluring can brake the bond between the lead and the bullet causing the lead to slip the jacket
Canneluring HOT bullet's work's ok/Bullet's you have just finished bonding.........
Just somthing to think about

www.lockstock.com has them in under reloading equipment,C-H product #12000 for $59.00 and the cutting wheel will probably out last all the bullets you could ever dream of doing. Built very well.
