Hornady Case Trimmer Pilot #2 - .228"

The Hornady Case Trimmer Pilot #2 - .228" is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters and ammunition reloaders who demand consistency and reliability in case preparation. This pilot insert serves as the centering guide in Hornady's case trimming systems, ensuring accurate and uniform case length across multiple rounds. Whether you're a competitive shooter, law enforcement armorer, or dedicated hand-loader, this component is essential for maintaining the tight tolerances required for match-grade ammunition.

Manufactured to exacting standards by Hornady Reloading, the .228" pilot is machined from premium materials to deliver repeatable accuracy and durability through thousands of trim cycles. The pilot's precise diameter ensures proper centering of the case neck, preventing binding and lateral drift during the trimming process. This precision engineering directly translates to uniform case wall thickness, which reduces velocity variation and improves shot-to-shot grouping consistency. The compact design (1.85 x 1.05 x 3.05 inches) allows easy storage and integration into any trimmer setup, while the minimal weight reflects the focused, engineered approach Hornady applies to all reloading tooling.

Users in precision rifle, competitive handgun, and service rifle disciplines depend on this pilot to maintain case concentricity and dimensional consistency. The .228" diameter accommodates cartridges in that neck range, making it compatible with calibers such as .223 Remington, .22-250, and similar mid-bore specifications. Installation is straightforward—simply insert the pilot into your Hornady case trimmer according to manufacturer guidance. Reload operators who prioritize ammunition quality and consistency will find this component indispensable for achieving the submachine-gun-level precision required in match ammunition and duty-grade handloads.
