I have misplaced my .45 case trimmer pilot somewhere & can't find it. Midway has them in stock but shipment is 3X the amount for the pilot itself. All I need is the .45 pilot so i don't want to buy other stuff just to make the shipment worthwhile. I'd be happy to pay for the pilot & the stamp & envelope it would take to mail one of them.

if NVcurmudgeon doesn't have you covered I'll stop in Sportsmans Warehouse tomorrow & grab it. I hit 2 different ones a couple times a week just in passing...

Doc: I didnt know SW had stores that close! Or is your daily route that long? I really miss that place since they closed the store here in N. Texas. They were the best "hunting" store by far!

I bet if you called RCBS, they might send you one for free

If all else fails, I'll chuck a piece of barstock in my lathe and make you one.

I just don't want to pay $15 to ship a $5 part. I have always bought from midway and would buy it there if it were not for the crazy shipping cost for an item the size of a pencil eraser.

Ken,

There's a SW in Salt Lake City, and there is one in Riverdale(Ogden area), they are about 40-45 miles apart, and yes I have been known to be in both on the same day(usually a Tues late, or Weds early as they get deliveries on Tues), but definitely over a weeks time I drive by each a few times...

Was thinking I had one gathering dust but when I found it I realized it was the only collet I use anymore, something as odd as the 45Colt. Everything else gets trimmed in the Lee zip trim.
I miss the Sportsmans Warehouse in Lewisville. Good prices, good quality stuff. Got some pretty awesome deals when they went out of business, tho.

RCBS has two 45 trimmer pilots. One is for 45 Colt and similar calibers, the other is marked 45 R which is for the 45-70, 45-90 and so on.
I needed one just about three weeks or so ago along with a shell holder for my RCBS TRIM PRO. I called and they sent the parts for free in about 13 days. Call customer service instead of sales. Later David
