Forster Products Bbk2141 Bushing Bump Kit 223 Rem
$105.56
The Forster Products Bushing Bump Kit for .223 Remington is a precision reloading solution built for handloaders who demand repeatable neck tension and cartridge-to-chamber fit. If you're loading for an AR-15, bolt gun, or any .223 application and want to step beyond one-size-fits-all sizing dies, this kit gives you the control to dial in your neck tension exactly where you need it.
The kit centers on a hand-polished sizing die matched to .223 Rem specifications, paired with three pre-selected bushing sizes that Forster's experienced reloading team has chosen to cover the typical range of neck-tension needs. The bushings themselves are precisely machined with a smooth internal finish, which matters—rough internals can mar brass necks and introduce inconsistency run to run. With three options in hand, you can test and select the bushing that produces the slight resistance fit you're after, then lock in that setup for all your .223 reloading.
This approach is favored by serious precision reloaders and competitors who've learned that controlling neck tension directly improves concentricity, velocity consistency, and group tightness downrange. It's more involved than a standard full-length die, but if you're already invested in quality brass and careful loading practices, the Bushing Bump Kit is the logical next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a bushing bump die and a standard neck-sizing die?
A standard neck-sizing die typically has one fixed internal dimension. The bushing bump system lets you swap three different bushings to match your brass and chamber more precisely, giving you control over how much tension the die applies to the cartridge neck. This is especially useful for precision rifle loading where consistency and fit matter.
Do I need special equipment to use the Bushing Bump Kit?
The kit works in a standard single-stage or progressive reloading press. No additional gear is required beyond your normal reloading setup.
Will this kit work with my .223 AR-15 and bolt-gun loads?
Yes. The die is sized for .223 Remington, so it will work for any .223 Rem firearm—AR-platform rifles, bolt guns, or single-shots. The benefit of selecting the right bushing size is that you dial in the neck tension that works best for your specific chamber.
What's included in the kit?
You receive the hand-polished .223 Rem sizing die and three hand-selected bushings chosen by Forster's reloading staff to cover the typical range of neck-tension applications for this caliber.
