Hornady Match Grade Bushing .258"
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .258\" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who run Hornady Match Grade dies and want to dial in exact neck tension on their rifle brass. This interchangeable bushing lets you control how tightly the case neck grips your bullet, eliminating the guesswork and the risk of over-working brass through excessive sizing. Whether you're loading ammunition for competition, long-range hunting, or precision rifle work, the right bushing size means longer brass life and more consistent rounds downrange.
The .258\" bushing pairs with either a Hornady Match Grade Full Length Die (which sizes the body and bumps the shoulder along with the neck) or a Match Grade Neck Die (neck sizing and shoulder bump only, no body work). Hornady produces these bushings in .002\" increments so you can find the exact fit for your bullets and brass combination. The self-centering design keeps everything square during sizing, and the bushings work with the same quality decap spindle and expander components found in Hornady's Custom Grade Dies.
If you've already invested in Hornady Match Grade dies or are building a precision reloading setup, these bushings are straightforward to swap and let you fine-tune neck tension without buying whole new dies. Hornady's attention to finish and tolerances on these bushings means they'll perform consistently through thousands of rounds.
