Hornady 390943 Cam Lock Pilot .264 Silver Steel for 5.45x39mm Reloading

The Hornady Cam Lock Pilot .264 is a precision case-trimming component built for reloaders working with 5.45x39mm brass. This silver steel pilot guides your cases through the trimming process with the Hornady Cam-Lock Case Trimmer, ensuring consistent neck length and uniform case prep across your batches. Whether you're preparing milsurp brass or once-fired rounds for precision handloads, a caliber-specific pilot is essential for accurate, repeatable results.

Hornady engineered this pilot from quality materials designed to withstand repeated use without wear or dimensional drift—two factors that directly affect trim-length consistency. The .264 diameter corresponds to the bore dimension of 5.45x39mm, so each case is sized accurately to the cartridge spec. This is the kind of detail-oriented engineering that separates solid reloading equipment from throwaway components.

If you're running a Cam-Lock trimmer or the original Hornady Case Trimmer, having the correct pilot on hand means you can swap calibers without compromise. Keep a dedicated pilot for each cartridge you load regularly; it's cheap insurance against sloppy case prep and the feeding issues that follow.
