The Forster Products 0.230'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component designed specifically for handloaders who run Forster Precision Plus bushing bump dies. This bushing controls neck diameter during the sizing stroke, allowing you to fine-tune how snugly your brass grips the bullet. At 0.230 inches, it's sized for cartridges in that neck range and works only with Forster's own die system—it won't fit competitors' equipment.
Forster manufactures these bushings in 0.001-inch increments, so you can dial in the exact neck tension your loads demand. Whether you're a benchrest competitor chasing single-digit groups or a hunter loading precision ammo for a match rifle, neck sizing with the right bushing diameter is one of the most direct ways to improve consistency. The cryogenic treatment Forster applies to every bushing reduces friction and extends service life, meaning smoother operation and less wear over thousands of reloading cycles.
If you already own a Forster Precision Plus bushing bump die setup, swapping in a different bushing diameter takes seconds and opens up new brass or lets you adjust neck tension without buying a whole new die. Keep a couple of bushings in your reloading bench so you can experiment with fit and tension without downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing fit my other reloading dies?
No. Forster neck bushings are designed exclusively for Forster Precision Plus bushing bump dies and are not interchangeable with other manufacturers' bushing systems.
What neck diameter cartridges does this bushing work with?
The 0.230-inch diameter is suited for cartridges with that neck specification. You'll need to verify your cartridge's neck diameter matches this bushing size for proper fit and function.
Can I use multiple bushings of different sizes with the same die?
Yes. Forster bushings are manufactured in 0.001-inch increments and can be swapped into the same Precision Plus die to adjust neck tension or accommodate different brass lots without purchasing additional dies.
What does cryogenic treatment do?
Cryogenic treatment reduces friction during the reloading process and increases the bushing's durability, meaning smoother operation and longer service life across thousands of reloading cycles.
