The RCBS 90414 Hand Case Neck Turn Pilot delivers precision neck turning for .31 caliber cartridge cases, enabling handloaders to achieve consistent neck wall thickness critical for accuracy. This stainless steel pilot maintains exact centering during the neck turning process, eliminating runout that degrades shot-to-shot consistency.
What Makes This Different
Stainless steel construction resists wear and corrosion far better than standard carbon steel pilots, maintaining dimensional accuracy through thousands of cases. The precision-machined diameter ensures perfect fit within .31 caliber case necks, preventing wobble that creates uneven cuts. Unlike generic pilots, this RCBS component integrates seamlessly with RCBS hand case neck turning tools for optimal performance.
Key Features
- Precision-machined .31 caliber diameter for exact case neck fit
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and dimensional changes
- Compatible with RCBS hand case neck turning systems
- Maintains concentricity to eliminate case neck runout
- Hardened surface finish withstands repeated use
- Silver finish for easy identification and professional appearance
- Designed specifically for .31 caliber cartridge cases
Consistent neck wall thickness directly impacts bullet seating uniformity and chamber concentricity, factors that separate precision handloads from factory ammunition. Competition shooters rely on neck turning to achieve single-digit standard deviations in velocity. The pilot's precise centering prevents the cutting blade from creating thick and thin spots around the neck circumference. Bench rest and long-range precision disciplines demand this level of case preparation consistency.
