The Forster Products 0.338'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component designed for hand loaders who demand consistency and reliability in their ammunition production. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and gives you the tight, controlled neck sizing that match-grade ammunition demands. If you're building rifle rounds where neck diameter matters—whether for hunting, long-range competition, or precision target shooting—a correctly sized neck bushing is essential to uniform case neck tension and bullet seating.
Forster manufactures these bushings in precise 0.001-inch increments, so you get the exact size your dies require. The 0.338'' bushing fits within Forster's standard range and is made to exacting tolerances. Every bushing undergoes cryogenic treatment, a process that hardens and stabilizes the steel, resulting in a smoother surface that handles thousands of sizing cycles without wearing or galling. That durability means your investment in quality reloading equipment pays off over years of use.
Because Forster bushings are not interchangeable with other brands, you need to confirm compatibility with your Forster Precision Plus die before ordering. The cryogenic treatment sets Forster apart from standard bushings and contributes to the longevity and performance reloaders expect from this brand. Whether you're developing loads for a new rifle or replacing a worn bushing, this component is built to deliver the precision you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies does this bushing work with?
The Forster 0.338'' neck bushing is designed to work only with Forster Precision Plus Bushing Bump Dies and is not compatible with other brands or types of dies.
Why is cryogenic treatment important in a reloading bushing?
Cryogenic treatment hardens and stabilizes the steel, creating a smoother surface that resists wear and galling. This results in a bushing that maintains its precision through thousands of reloading cycles and performs consistently over its lifetime.
Can I use this bushing in place of a different size?
No. Forster bushings are manufactured in precise 0.001-inch increments. The 0.338'' bushing is sized for specific cartridges and applications. Using the wrong size will result in improper neck sizing and inconsistent ammunition quality. Always verify the correct bushing size for your cartridge and dies.
