The Forster HOT Pilot #284 is designed for .284″ diameter bullets, making it an essential accessory for reloaders who work with 7mm cartridges. Precision machined with special angles and reliefs designed specifically for neck turning, the cutter approach angle allows turning right up to the case shoulder. This pilot is specifically engineered for use with Forster’s Hand-held Outside Neck Turner, a specialized tool that achieves precise, concentric neck preparation.
The pilot is .002″ to .0025″ smaller than the bullet diameter, ensuring proper fit and consistent results during the neck-turning process. This pilot should not be confused with pilots for the Case Trimmer Cutter Shaft or the Case Trimmer Outside Neck Turner, as none are interchangeable. If you’re upgrading your reloading setup or need to replace a worn pilot, the Forster HOT2284 delivers the precision and durability reloaders expect from this trusted manufacturer.
