The Forster Products 0.225'' Neck Bushing is a precision reloading component designed for handloaders who demand tight neck sizing control. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies, allowing you to fine-tune case neck fit to your specific cartridge and chamber specifications. Forster neck bushings are engineered in 0.001-inch increments, giving you the granular control needed to achieve consistent, high-quality ammunition that chambers smoothly and shoots tight groups.
Reloaders who prioritize consistency and repeatability rely on Forster's bushing system to eliminate the guesswork from neck sizing. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, a properly sized neck bushing ensures your cases are sized to match your rifle's actual chamber, reducing run-out and improving shot-to-shot performance. This is especially valuable for precision rifle, benchrest, and long-range hunting applications where ammunition quality directly impacts accuracy.
Every Forster bushing receives cryogenic treatment during manufacturing, a process that hardens the steel and dramatically extends its working life. You'll notice the ultra-smooth operation from your first reload—less friction means easier operation and less wear on your equipment over thousands of rounds. Because Forster bushings are not interchangeable with other brands, confirm your die manufacturer before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing work with my other reloading dies?
No. Forster neck bushings are designed specifically for use with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and are not compatible with other brands or styles of bushing dies.
What is cryogenic treatment and why does it matter?
Cryogenic treatment is a hardening process that strengthens the steel, making it more durable and allowing for smoother, longer-lasting operation. You'll experience less friction and wear over tens of thousands of reloading cycles.
How do I know what size bushing I need?
Forster bushings are made in 0.001-inch increments. Most handloaders work up from their loaded case diameter—typically starting at the measured outside diameter of a freshly fired case and adjusting in 0.001-inch steps until sizing produces the desired fit in their specific chamber.
