The Redding Case Trimmer Pilot in .40 Caliber (Redding part no. 15400) adapts a Redding case trimmer to that specific caliber, and it is a required accessory rather than an optional upgrade since Redding trimmers only cut true once the correct pilot is installed. The pilot’s tapered head guides smoothly into the case mouth and holds the case square to the cutter head, so the trim comes out consistent instead of angled or chattered. Reloaders who load for more than one cartridge typically keep a small collection of these pilots on hand and swap them as they move between calibers on the same trimmer body.

Key Specifications

• Sized specifically for .40 Caliber cases.
• Tapered head guides squarely into the case mouth for a straight, centered trim.
• Holds the case firmly against the cutter head during trimming to prevent wobble.
• Compatible with Redding case trimmers that accept individual caliber-specific pilots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a different pilot for every caliber I load? Yes, Redding pilots are caliber-specific, so a .40 Caliber pilot only fits .40 Caliber cases on the trimmer.

Does this pilot work with any Redding trimmer? It is sized for Redding case trimmers built to accept individual case-specific pilots; check your trimmer model before ordering.
