I've been using a VLD chamfer for a few years as well.

I have at least half a dozen brands of dies on my shelf, including Hornady, Lee, RCBS, Forster and even some antiques like CH. I use the Redding bushing neck-die for the .17 Hornet not because it makes seating bullets any easier (the VLD chamferer does that) but because it's the best way I've found to be able to really crank out lots of handloads for lots of rodents, with the cases absolute straight so they'll shoot straight, and zero need for lubing. If Lee made a collett die for the .17 Hornet I'd sure try one, but they don't, so use the Redding instead.
