I have an old (1950's era) case trimmer that is in perfect working condition except for one problem, I only have one size pilot (.257). I can't find much about the make (Grigsby as I recall), but it does have a removable pilot and essentially looks like it is the same as the basic classic-style trimmers that all the major manufacturers make today.
My question is, can I just buy a modern $5 pilot in another caliber that would fit an old trimmer, and if so, which make would fit it.
I have measured the dimensions of the pilot:
1/8" (0.125) diameter insert
3/4" (0.750) overall length
