Forster Products 0.247'' Neck Bushing

The Forster Products 0.247'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters who demand consistent, repeatable case neck sizing. Built specifically for use with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies, this bushing delivers the tight tolerances and smooth operation that serious handloaders rely on for match-grade ammunition. Whether you're loading for competition, hunting, or long-range shooting, neck bushings are essential to maintaining round-to-round uniformity and controlling bullet runout.

Forster manufactures their bushings in precise 0.001-inch increments, ensuring you can dial in the exact neck diameter your cartridge and die setup requires. The 0.247'' size sits in the middle of Forster's available range and serves common rifle cartridges that benefit from this bushing diameter. Each bushing is cryogenically treated—a process that stabilizes the steel and dramatically extends service life while maintaining the ultra-smooth sizing action Forster is known for. That means thousands of rounds through your die before any perceptible wear.

Important: Forster neck bushings are designed exclusively for Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and are not compatible with other manufacturers' bushing-style dies. If you're upgrading your reloading setup or building a new one, confirm your die is a Forster Precision Plus model. The precision and durability you get from matching Forster components to Forster dies justifies the investment, especially if you're chasing consistent velocities and tight groups downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bushing work with my existing reloading die?

No. Forster neck bushings are designed exclusively for Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and are not interchangeable with other brands or die types. Verify your die is a Forster Precision Plus model before ordering.

What size cartridges does a 0.247'' neck bushing fit?

The 0.247'' bushing is available as part of Forster's range (0.281'' to 0.343''), but the specific cartridges it's sized for depend on your reloading setup. Contact Forster or consult your die documentation to confirm the correct bushing size for your cartridge and desired neck clearance.

How long does a cryogenically treated bushing last?

Cryogenic treatment increases the durability and smoothness of the bushing, extending its service life significantly over standard steel. With normal use, a Forster bushing will provide years of consistent sizing before any noticeable wear.
