The Forster Products 0.246" neck bushing is a precision sizing component built specifically for reloaders who demand consistent, tight case neck control. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies, giving you the ability to dial in exact neck diameters for match-grade ammunition and benchrest applications where minimal runout matters. At 0.246 inches, this bushing is sized for cartridges that require a smaller neck diameter—think smaller varmint calibers or specialized wildcat loads.
Forster manufactures these bushings in 0.001-inch incremental steps, so you get precisely the fit your reloading setup needs without settling for an off-the-shelf approximation. The hardened steel construction is cryogenically treated for ultra-smooth operation and long service life, meaning you won't wear out the bushing sizing hundreds or thousands of cases. Because these bushings are designed only for Forster Precision Plus dies, you know the fit is engineered to their tolerances—not a one-size-fits-all afterthought.
If you're running a Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Die setup and need a 0.246" bushing, this is your part. It's the kind of component that separates careful reloaders from casual ones—the attention to detail that shows up in tighter groups and more consistent velocities downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing work with other brands of 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 does the cryogenic treatment do?
Cryogenic treatment hardens the steel and creates an ultra-smooth finished surface, reducing friction during sizing and extending the bushing's working life across thousands of reloading cycles.
What calibers use a 0.246" neck bushing?
A 0.246" bushing is sized for smaller cartridges and specialized wildcat loads. Consult your Forster die documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm the bushing size for your specific caliber and load requirements.
