The Lyman Case Trimmer Pilot #36 (Manufacturer Part Number 7822009, also cataloged as LY-CTP36) is a precision-engineered reloading accessory designed to ensure exact case mouth trimming for .36 caliber cartridges. This mechanical, non-powered steel pilot fits directly into the cutter head of your Lyman case trimmer, including the Lyman Universal Case Trimmer and the Lyman AccuTrimmer. By inserting the pilot into the cartridge case mouth, it aligns the case perfectly square with the cutter, delivering a flat, uniform trim. This precise alignment is crucial for maintaining consistent chambering, pressure, and downrange accuracy for your handloads.

• Precision-Machined Steel Construction: Crafted from durable, high-grade steel to withstand repeated use and resist wear, ensuring long-term accuracy and consistent case lengths.
• Tapered Tip Design: Features a distinct taper that guides the pilot smoothly into the case mouth, preventing the brass from wobbling, slipping, or deforming during the trimming process.
• Universal Lyman Compatibility: Engineered to fit seamlessly with all standard Lyman Case Trimmers, allowing for easy integration into your existing reloading setup.
• Tool-Free Interchangeability: Quickly swaps out of the trimmer head without complex tools, allowing reloaders to transition between different calibers efficiently.
• Zero Power Requirements: As a purely mechanical tool insert, it requires no electrical power, making it fully compatible with any Australian reloading bench without the need for 240V power, SAA, or RCM certifications.
