What you're refering to are cutters for the barrel forcing cone, which also gets called a chamfer. A 45 degree chamfer is usually used for chamber entries in revolvers.

Brownell's (and others) sell piloted cutters so cut a chamfer(or beveled edge) on revolver chamber mouths to help facilitate fast reloads.
