A Hornady Match Grade Bushing in .250" is a precision reloading component designed for shooters who demand tight neck sizing control. These interchangeable bushings are the heart of the Hornady Match Grade die system, letting you customize case neck fit to your exact bullet tension rather than relying on a fixed die diameter. If you're loading match ammunition or working with premium brass you want to preserve, this bushing approach eliminates the risk of over-sizing case necks and accelerating brass fatigue.
The .250" bushing comes as part of Hornady's engineered neck sizing solution. Bushings are produced in .002 inch increments, so you can dial in the precise interference fit your loads need. The bushing installs into either a Match Grade Full Length Die (which sizes body, bumps shoulder, and necks in one stroke) or a dedicated Match Grade Neck Die (neck sizing and shoulder bump only, no body sizing). Both die types feature the same self-centering design, meaning the bushing automatically aligns concentrically as you stroke the handle—no fiddling required.
Built for reloaders who understand that case longevity and ammunition consistency go hand in hand, the Match Grade Bushing system shares premium construction details with Hornady's Custom Grade line, including a self-centering decap spindle with o-ring tensioner and the durable elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin. If you're chasing sub-MOA groups or simply want to maximize the life of your brass, this bushing gives you the control to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies work with the .250" Match Grade Bushing?
This bushing installs in Hornady Match Grade Full Length Dies and Hornady Match Grade Neck Dies. Both die types are engineered to accept interchangeable bushings.
How do bushing dies control bullet tension?
By swapping bushings in .002 inch increments, you adjust the inside diameter of the neck sizing chamber. A smaller bushing increases tension on the bullet; a larger one decreases it. This lets you dial in the exact fit your loads demand without changing dies.
Will Match Grade Bushings help my brass last longer?
Yes. Because you size only to the tension you need rather than to a fixed die diameter, you avoid unnecessary case neck work and hardening, which extends brass life over many reloads.
Do I need to buy a complete die set to use this bushing?
No. This bushing is sold separately and is designed to install in existing Hornady Match Grade Full Length or Neck sizing dies. You'll need one of those dies to use the bushing.
