The Forster 0.284 inch Neck Turner Pilot (7mm) (brand part no. OT2284) centers the case neck during outside neck turning, sized to a 0.284 inch bore (7mm) so the cutting blade removes brass evenly around the neck wall. Forster Products pairs this pilot with its Original, Classic, or Power case trimmer running the neck turner attachment, and unlike an inside neck reamer, outside neck turning corrects wall-thickness variation rather than just relieving overall thickness. It’s a caliber-specific part, so a different pilot is needed for a different bore diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is neck turning different from inside neck reaming? Neck turning removes brass from the outside of the neck and corrects wall-thickness variation; inside reaming relieves overall thickness but follows the case’s existing hole.

Will this pilot fit other calibers? No, it’s sized specifically for a 0.284 inch bore and won’t center other calibers correctly.
