The Forster Hot Pilot #17 is designed for the Hand Held Neck Turner and accommodates .171 diameter bullets, making it the ideal accessory for 17 caliber reloaders. Crafted from high-quality, hardened steel, this pilot is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and provides exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.
Turning eccentric case necks to a consistent wall thickness provides greater return on your time investment than any other reloading function, and at the point of ignition, your brass must expand to allow bullet release—if the brass is thicker on one side than the other, the thin side releases the bullet first and causes bullet-to-bore misalignment that can seriously impair accuracy. This specific .171 caliber pilot is precision-machined to ensure an exact fit within the case neck, a critical factor for achieving perfectly uniform neck wall thickness, which optimizes bullet concentricity and leads to superior accuracy and consistency.
Designed specifically for the Forster Hand-held Outside Neck Turner, this pilot ensures smooth and efficient operation with compatibility that guarantees perfect synergy between components, allowing for effortless setup and consistent turning results that simplify case preparation. The HOT2017 pilot is an essential component for reloaders who demand precision-crafted ammunition.
