Forster Products 0.266'' Neck Bushing

The Forster Products 0.266'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component designed for shooters who demand tight neck concentricity and consistent ammunition performance. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus bushing bump dies, making it the right choice if you're already running that die system or considering a switch to it. The 0.266'' diameter is sized for specific cartridges where this neck dimension matches your reloading needs—Forster manufactures bushings in incremental sizes, so this one is purpose-built rather than a one-size-fits-all compromise.

Forster bushings are cryogenically treated, a process that hardens the steel and dramatically reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This treatment extends bushing life and ensures a smoother, more consistent feel at the press with every round you load. If you're chasing accuracy for hunting, competition, or precision rifle work, neck bushing sizing is one of the best ways to control case neck runout—and a quality bushing like this one is the foundation of that process.

Keep in mind that Forster bushings are not cross-compatible with other manufacturers' bushing dies. You'll need to confirm your die is a Forster Precision Plus model before ordering. If you're upgrading your reloading setup or building out a new caliber, this bushing pairs directly with the Forster system and nothing else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bushing work with my other reloading dies?

No. Forster bushings are designed exclusively for Forster Precision Plus bushing bump dies and are not interchangeable with other brands or die systems. Confirm your dies are Forster-made before purchasing.

What does cryogenic treatment do?

Cryogenic treatment hardens the steel, reducing friction and wear. This makes the bushing smoother to use at the press and extends its working life significantly compared to untreated bushings.

How do I know if 0.266'' is the right size for my cartridge?

The correct bushing diameter depends on your specific cartridge and desired neck clearance. Consult Forster's sizing guidelines or your die documentation. Forster makes bushings in 0.001'' increments across a range of diameters, so there's a size for most common applications.
