Forster Case Trimmer Pilot #26

The Forster Case Trimmer Pilot #26 is a precision reloading component designed for use with Forster Products Original Classic and Power case trimmers. This pilot serves a critical function in the reloading process: it centers the case neck during trimming operations to ensure uniform case length across your ammunition batches. The #26 pilot is sized for specific calibers and cartridge types, making accurate pilot selection essential for consistent, safe ammunition production.

Proper pilot selection depends on the inside neck diameter of your brass after full-length sizing. The pilot diameter must be slightly smaller than the bullet diameter to allow smooth case feeding without binding or excessive friction. Using the correct pilot size prevents case damage, reduces trimming resistance, and maintains the dimensional consistency that reliable handloads require. This compact component weighs just 0.01 pounds and measures 2.2 x 0.3 x 3.5 inches, making it a practical addition to any reloading workstation or equipment kit.

Reloaders who maintain their own ammunition benefit from having the correct assortment of Forster trimmer pilots on hand. Whether you reload rifle, pistol, or magnum cartridges, Forster Products offers a full range of pilot sizes to match popular calibers. The Case Trimmer Pilot #26 is an inexpensive, durable component that plays a direct role in producing ammunition that chambers correctly and performs reliably downrange. Stock the pilot sizes your reloading operation requires and ensure every case meets dimensional specifications before loading.
