Forster classic case trimmer pilot
By Michael G.
on Aug 02, 2023
I have previously purchased about 1 dozen Forster pilots and this one is good like the previous ones. There is one caveat, though, about my experience with Forster and other brands of trimmer pilots - they are invariably too wide to fit into the necks of resized cases. To remedy this, I use and used a small, rolled-up piece of emery sandpaper that I wrapped around this .432 pilot chucked in a cordless drill, holding it tightly around the spinning pilot. I kept testing the sanded pilot until it fit into a couple sample cases. Then I finished the sanding with 400 grit paper to give it a shine. Yes, occasionally, the pilot is slightly loose in a case neck but that has been no problem. I still use my Forster pilots purchased in the early 1980-'s.
