I started reloading in 1960. Yes, for bottleneck rifles, you need another tool, but it is a relatively inexpensive deburring/chamfering tool. The deburring end of the tool removes burrs from the outide of the case after it has been trimmed. The chamfering tool puts a slight bevel into the rim in order for the bullet to seat properly. A very light debur and chamfer is all that is required.
