Ok guys I was told I could use a Forster case trimmer for trimming my cases it came with a .308 30 cal pilot I need a .264 6.5 cal Pilot and a .224 22 cal pilot.
I was told that Hornady pilots would work so I bought the ones I needed. They will not work because they have a step halfway up the shaft. So questions does anybody have those 2 pilots I could trade these for? If not can I use RCBS OR LYMAN pilots?

Thanks guys
 
The post on the RCBS pilots is .155, and the posts on the Forsters are .185, don't have any Lyman ones.
 
Check Brownells too, I just bought a Forster .264 pilot and a bunch of other Forster stuff, they were cheaper than Midway and less to ship.
 
Like said you can buy the correct pilots from Forsters, Midway USA, Brownells, Sinclair Int., Optics Planet, Amazon.com, and a whole host if others. Find the least expensive place and have at it lol.

It seems Amazon and Optics Planet are least expensive right now.

I think that little lathe made by Forsters is a great tool. I have many of the accessories and they a work great. Does anyone have the bullet hallow pointing tool, I'm just wondering if it works?
