Overview
This interchangeable trimmer pilot is made for use with the Hornady Cam Lock Trimmer when case trimming calls for a .277" pilot size.

- The product information provided is limited to compatibility, so fit should be confirmed against Hornady sizing charts before purchase.
- This is a single trimmer pilot, so it addresses one sizing need rather than a broader trimming setup.
