Hornady .260'' Hornady Match Grade Bushing 6Mm

The Hornady .260" Match Grade Bushing for 6mm is a precision reloading component designed for shooters who demand consistent neck tension and longer brass life. If you're running a progressive press with Hornady Match Grade dies, these interchangeable bushings let you dial in exactly the bullet tension your loads need—without the guesswork that leads to over-sized necks and work-hardened brass. The .260" dimension works with 6mm cartridges and is part of Hornady's modular bushing system, available in .002" increments so you can find your sweet spot.

What sets Hornady's approach apart is the self-centering design. Your case neck stays true relative to the die body, which means more uniform sizing and better concentricity—two things that matter when you're chasing accuracy at distance or on the bench. Whether you're prepping match rounds or hunting ammo that needs to shoot lights-out, starting with a properly sized neck under controlled tension is non-negotiable.

This bushing is engineered to work with Hornady Match Grade Full Length and Neck sizing dies, which feature the same quality decap spindle and expander geometry as their Custom Grade line. The modular bushing system means you can own one die body and swap bushings to fine-tune your reloading without buying multiple dies—a practical approach that serious reloaders appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Hornady dies does this bushing work with?

This bushing is designed for use with Hornady Match Grade Full Length and Neck sizing dies. It installs into the die body to control neck tension during the sizing process.

Why would I want an interchangeable bushing instead of a standard die?

Interchangeable bushings let you adjust neck tension in small increments (.002") without buying multiple dies. This means you can dial in the exact tension your ammunition needs, which improves consistency and extends brass life by reducing unnecessary work-hardening.

How does self-centering improve my reloading?

A self-centering bushing keeps your case neck aligned with the die body during sizing, which promotes more uniform neck wall thickness and better overall case concentricity. That translates to more consistent bullet seating and better accuracy potential.
