I found four funnels in a set at the dollar store. They have very long and skinny spouts which can easily be trimmed down to a diameter I need.
One nice thing about large cases, is you can often use a funnel that goes into the case mouth.

For chamfering the inside of the case mouth I have been using the Lyman VLD tool with very good sucess, outside is done with the Lee. I dont have much help with the funnel as I use the powder thru case mouth expanding die with the funnel on top from Lee. Works very well for me.

I use the MTM funnel kit without putting in any of the inserts. For chamfering I use RCBS 50 cal. chamfering tool.

Was at Cabelas last night and saw that RCBS and Lyman both make deburring tools for .17-.60 now. Both around $25 there. Saw an RCBS powder funnel that said right on te back foe .500 s&w and WSSM cartridges for $8.

I'm going to see how much they are other places as Cabelas here is usually really high on reloading stuff.

For me a sharp pocket knife works great for a chamfer and deburring tool. I use a pan funnel to fill my cases.
