I ran across this trimmer http://www.forsterproducts.com/catalog. ... prevnext=1 a while ago but Forster doesn't have any plans to make a .204 cal pilot.
Does anyone here have the expertise to make a pilot for one of these, or any pull with Forest?
Seems it would be a great tool.

Just turn a 223 mandrel down.

I believe that I use a Hornady 204 mandrel in my Forster case trimmer. (of course, this is depending on MY memory!)

I use a Forster case trimmer and Forster makes a pilot in .204 for it. Would that one work for the 3 in 1? Give them a call and see.

Just talked to a lady at Forster. The .204 pilot for the std. case trimmer will not work in the 3 in 1. She said they plan to make the 3 in 1 available in more calibers but currently are having difficulty keeping up with the requests for what is now available caliber wise. Hopefully the .204 version is one of the ones they add first!! :roll:
