The Hornady 390947 Cam Lock Pilot provides precision alignment for .264 caliber bullet seating operations in 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges. This steel construction pilot ensures consistent bullet placement and reduces runout during the reloading process.

What Makes This Different

The cam lock design creates a secure, wobble-free connection that maintains alignment throughout the seating operation.

The precision-machined steel construction delivers repeatable performance across thousands of reloading cycles.
