The Forster Products 0.256'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component built specifically for handloaders who demand exact case neck control. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies, making it an essential upgrade if you're running that die system and need tight, consistent neck sizing. The 0.256'' diameter is one of the precision increments Forster manufactures to match the exact specifications of their die lineup—no guessing, no compromise.
Forster neck bushings are engineered for durability and reliability. Each bushing undergoes cryogenic treatment, a deep-cold hardening process that reduces friction and extends working life compared to standard components. This means smoother operation through hundreds of reloading cycles and less wear on both the bushing and your brass. The result is more consistent neck tension and tighter shot grouping over time.
If you're serious about precision reloading for rifle cartridges, this bushing gives you the fine-tuned control that generic equipment simply can't match. Forster's commitment to 0.001-inch increments across their bushing range means you'll find the exact fit your dies and brass require. This is the kind of attention to detail that separates methodical reloaders from the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing work with other reloading die brands?
No. This Forster neck bushing is designed exclusively for use with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and is not interchangeable with bushings from other manufacturers.
What does cryogenic treatment do?
Cryogenic treatment hardens the steel at a molecular level, making the bushing ultra-smooth, reducing friction during reloading, and extending its working life compared to untreated components.
How precise is the 0.256'' sizing?
Forster manufactures bushings in 0.001-inch increments, so this 0.256'' bushing provides exact, consistent neck sizing for your specific cartridge and brass combination.
