Does anyone know where I can get a .31 pilot for a Lyman Universal case trimmer?
The only place I've been able to find is MidwayUK. With their delivery charges I'd end up paying more for delivery than for the pilot.
Where can I buy a .31 Lyman pilot?

I may well have a spare, failing that I can soon make one, how quickly do you need it?
Re: Where can I buy a .31 Lyman pilot?
That's very kind of you, thanks Ovenpaa. I shan't be using it until the Christmas break so there's no immediate rush. If you could sort me out I'd be glad to put a fiver into your nominated charity of choice. It would cost me that at Midway without the delivery charge.
I picked up the case trimmer in the US, only got around to using it this weekend and then realised that the pack of pilots didn't include all the ones I needed. D'oh!

No worries, if I have one I will ask Christel to pop it in the post, if I have to make one I will try and find a few spare minutes one evening, failing that I am in the shed Sunday. Just to confirm, it needs to be .310" diameter?
Re: Where can I buy a .31 Lyman pilot?
Thanks for double checking. I thought it was .310 but I went and looked on the Midway site and it's actually .312:
"Lyman Case Trimmer Pilot #31, 7.7mm (312 Diameter)"
http://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproductpa ... mID=298957
It's to use with my .303 and 7.62R cases. The Lyman site says this is the one I need.
I'll PM my address to you.

Ah, well I do use slightly different ones for my .303 and 7,62 and I have some fired 54R cases so I will check the sizes I use.
