The Redding 06127 Pilot Stop is a precision reloading accessory engineered to position and support .270 calibre and 6.8mm cartridge cases during case preparation and inspection. Designed specifically to mount onto standard 3/16-inch (0.1875 in / ~4.76 mm) mandrels—such as those found on the Redding Case Neck Gauge—this tool ensures accurate case alignment when measuring neck wall thickness and uniformity with a dial indicator. Precision-machined from stainless steel, it provides a stable mechanical stop that prevents over-insertion during neck-turning, reaming, or flash-hole deburring setups.

Key Features

  • Undercut Design: Features a specialized undercut profile that prevents the pilot from catching on internal neck/shoulder junctions or case mouth burrs, ensuring smooth rotation and true dial indicator readings.
  • Precise Measurement Support: Mounts securely over a 3/16-inch mandrel to stabilize the cartridge case during neck wall concentricity and thickness checks.
  • Depth Limitation: Functions as a physical stop to maintain uniform depth control and prevent over-cutting during case neck preparation.
  • Stainless Steel Construction: Machined from solid stainless steel to resist wear and maintain dimensional tolerances over high-volume reloading sessions.

Who is the Redding Pilot Stop for .270 Calibre with 3/16" Mandrels for?

  • Precision handloaders tuning .270 calibre ammunition — Machined specifically for the nominal .270-inch diameter, this reloading case neck gauge pilot stop enables accurate neck wall thickness measurement on a standard 3/16-inch mandrel.
  • Competitive target shooters assembling consistent rifle loads — Provides a rigid mechanical stop on a 3/16-inch shaft to ensure uniform positioning and depth control when inspecting .270-calibre case necks.

Less suitable for: Handloaders working with calibres smaller or larger than nominal .270-inch diameter, or setups utilizing 9/64-inch mandrels; these applications require a dedicated calibre-specific pilot stop sized for the corresponding case neck and mandrel diameter.
