Don't do a lot of shooting with it for several reasons so realistically maybe not lol.
Anyway looking online for trimmer pilots etc comes up a bit short. It shares the same case length as the parent 375H+H case so potentially I could adapt one of the lee ones with a sleeve to fit the case mouth but still need the cutter. not too much of a biggie
Already have a Lyman ezee trim set but need a 416 pilot which I can't seem to find, I also have a lee quick trim, the one that looks the end of an old brace and bit but doesn't seem to be any dies for that either.
do not want to pay heaps for a system that will get the least use of my shooters
Maybe a file die?
What do you guys reckon?
Maybe @grandpamac has some sage wisdom?

There is an answer to your problem but I don't think you are going to like it. Any of the lathe type trimmers should have the length required for the .416. My 50 year old Bair unit does. As far as the pilots go they should be avaiable although possibly not marked .416. I made a set on a lathe years back and case hardened them and they are still going strong. If you don't have a lathe type trimmer and don't want to buy one there should be someone locally that can help. Lyman offer a no 41 pilot that should do it but don't expect to find one in your local sportsshop.
