The Forster Products 0.245'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component engineered for handloaders who demand tight, consistent neck sizing. Built exclusively for use with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies, this bushing delivers the controlled case neck concentricity and dimensional consistency that separates match-grade ammunition from ordinary handloads. If you're already invested in Forster's bushing-die system—or considering it—this specific bushing size gives you the dialed-in control serious rifle shooters rely on.
Forster manufactures these bushings in precise 0.001-inch increments, meaning the 0.245'' size is engineered to exacting tolerances for your particular cartridge and die setup. Unlike aftermarket or generic bushings, these are proprietary to Forster's Precision Plus system and are not interchangeable with competing brands. Cryogenic treatment hardens the steel throughout, creating a surface that resists wear and maintains its sizing characteristics over thousands of handloads. That durability translates to predictable, repeatable neck tension—critical when you're chasing sub-MOA groups.
If neck runout and consistent bullet seating tension matter to your reloading, the bushing-die approach offers advantages over conventional full-length sizing. This 0.245'' bushing fits that precision ecosystem, provided your press is already equipped with Forster Precision Plus dies. It's not an upgrade path from other systems; it's a core component of the Forster method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing work with my other reloading dies?
No. Forster neck bushings are proprietary to Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and are not interchangeable with other brands or die systems.
What does the cryogenic treatment do?
Cryogenic treatment hardens the bushing steel throughout, making it more wear-resistant and long-lasting. This maintains consistent sizing characteristics over extended use and many reloading cycles.
What cartridges use a 0.245'' neck bushing?
The bushing dimensions are determined by your specific cartridge and die setup. Check your Forster die documentation or contact Forster directly to confirm the correct bushing size for your caliber.
