Hornady .262'' Hornady Match Grade Bushing 6Mm

The Hornady .262'' Match Grade Bushing for 6mm is a precision reloading component designed for handloaders who demand consistency and control over neck sizing. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade Dies to let you dial in exactly the bullet tension your loads need—eliminating the guesswork and the risk of over-working brass through unnecessary sizing.

Match Grade Dies are built around the concept that one-size-fits-all sizing dies leave you with either too much or too little tension on your bullets. The .262'' bushing is self-centering, meaning it automatically aligns the case neck to the sizing mandrel for uniform results across every round. Because bushings come in .002'' increments, you can fine-tune your neck fit with precision that standard dies simply can't match. This approach extends brass life and helps maintain the tighter tolerances serious rifle shooters and precision reloaders depend on.

This bushing integrates with Hornady's Match Grade full-length and neck-only dies, both of which feature the same quality construction you'll find throughout the line: a self-centering decap spindle with o-ring tensioner, an elliptical expander ball, and a headed decap pin pulled from Hornady's Custom Grade tooling. Whether you're loading for a precision bolt rifle or competitive shooting, the ability to control neck tension at this level is a game-changer for consistency and brass longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies do this bushing work with?

This .262'' bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade Dies, available in both full-length sizing and neck-only versions. It will not fit standard Hornady progressive press dies or other manufacturers' equipment.

Why would I use a bushing die instead of a standard die?

Bushing dies let you control bullet tension precisely, in .002'' increments. This means you can size your case necks to match your specific bullets and desired fit, rather than accepting whatever tension a standard die provides. The result is better consistency, reduced brass fatigue, and extended case life.

Do I need multiple bushings?

Many handloaders purchase several bushings in different sizes to experiment and find the ideal tension for their loads and bullets. The .262'' bushing covers 6mm applications, and additional sizes are available separately from Hornady.

Is this a complete die, or just the bushing?

This is the interchangeable bushing component only. You'll need a Hornady Match Grade Die (full-length or neck-only) to use it. The bushing installs into the die body to control neck sizing.
