The Hornady 260 Remington Match Grade Full Length Die is built for precision reloaders who demand consistency across their 260 Remington brass. This full length die sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder, and sizes the case neck in one stroke—the foundation of tight shot-to-shot groups. If you're loading for a precision rifle or competition shooting, this die lets you dial in exactly the neck tension your ammunition needs, rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all approach.
What sets the Match Grade die apart is the interchangeable neck sizing bushing system. These self-centering bushings come in .002 inch increments, giving you the control to match your bullet tension precisely. This eliminates the common reloader's dilemma: over-sizing your case necks and accelerating brass wear. By choosing the right bushing for your specific bullets and brass, you keep your cases in better condition and get more reloads per piece. The bushing itself does the sizing work, protecting your brass from unnecessary stress.
The die features a self-centering decap spindle with an o-ring spindle tensioner, paired with an elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin—the same quality internal design found in Hornady's Custom Grade Dies. The whole assembly is well finished and built to handle years of consistent reloading. Pair this full length die with a Hornady Match Grade Neck Die (sold separately) if you want to fine-tune neck sizing on subsequent reloads while protecting your shoulders from over-working.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck sizing bushings are available for the 260 Remington Match Grade die?
The die comes with one bushing installed, and additional bushings are available in .002 inch increments. This lets you match your neck tension to your specific bullets and brass. Bushings are self-centering for consistent, concentric sizing.
Can I use this full length die with a Match Grade Neck Die?
Yes. The full length die handles complete case sizing for new or once-fired brass. A Match Grade Neck Die (sold separately) is used on subsequent reloads to size only the neck and bump the shoulder, preserving case life when body sizing is no longer necessary.
What's included with the die?
The Hornady Match Grade Full Length Die comes with one installed neck sizing bushing. Additional bushings in different sizes are sold separately to let you tailor your neck tension to your ammunition and rifles.
Why would I choose interchangeable bushings over a standard full length die?
Standard dies size every case neck to the same dimension, which can be too tight or too loose depending on your specific bullets and brass. Bushings let you choose the exact neck tension you need, reducing unnecessary brass work and improving consistency. This approach extends brass life significantly for reloaders running precision loads.
