Hornady 0.284'' Match Grade Bushing

The Hornady 0.284'' Match Grade Bushing is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand consistency and control over case preparation. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade die system to let you dial in exactly the bullet tension you want—without the guesswork of full-length sizing that can overwork brass and shorten case life. If you're loading 7mm rounds for competition, hunting, or precision rifle work, this bushing gives you the fine adjustment that separates mediocre loads from match-grade ammo.

Hornady makes these bushings in .002-inch increments, so you can find the perfect fit for your brass and bullets. The self-centering design ensures consistent neck sizing every time you pull the handle, and the bushing swaps easily into either a Match Grade Full Length Die or a Match Grade Neck Die depending on your reloading workflow. Whether you're prepping new brass or maintaining fired cases, this bushing helps preserve case longevity by eliminating the over-sizing that degrades brass after just a few firings.

Built to Hornady's Match Grade standards, this bushing pairs with die sets that feature a self-centering decap spindle, o-ring spindle tensioner, and the same durable decap pin design found in Custom Grade dies. It's a small component with outsized impact on load quality and consistency—exactly what serious reloaders expect from Match Grade equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies does this 0.284'' bushing work with?

This bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade dies, including both the Full Length Die and the Neck Die. It installs as an interchangeable component in either die type.

How does using a neck bushing improve my loads?

A bushing lets you size only the case neck to a specific dimension, giving you control over bullet tension without resizing the case body. This prevents over-working brass and helps it last longer while maintaining consistent neck tension from round to round.

Are these bushings available in different sizes?

Yes. Hornady offers Match Grade Bushings in .002-inch increments, allowing you to find the exact size that gives you the bullet tension you want for your specific brass and bullet combination.

What's the advantage of a self-centering bushing?

Self-centering design ensures the bushing stays aligned with the die bore during the sizing stroke, promoting uniform neck sizing and better concentricity from case to case.
