Hornady Match Grade Bushing/.266

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing/.266 is a precision neck-sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand tight case neck control. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady Match Grade dies to let you dial in exactly how much tension your loaded rounds have on the bullet, without the risk of over-working your brass through repeated full-length sizing. If you're loading for a precision rifle or running a tight chamber, this is the kind of detail that separates decent groups from truly consistent ones.

The .266 bushing is part of Hornady's system of bushings available in .002-inch increments, so you can find the exact fit for your brass and bullets. The self-centering design ensures the case neck is sized straight and true every time you run it through the die. When paired with either the Match Grade Full Length Die or the dedicated Neck Die, you get the precision and case longevity that competitive shooters and serious handloaders expect.

Built and finished to match Hornady's reputation for quality, this bushing integrates seamlessly with Match Grade die sets that feature a self-centering decap spindle, o-ring spindle tensioner, and elliptical expander ball—the same robust components found in Hornady's Custom Grade dies. If you're building a reloading setup focused on accuracy and consistency, the Match Grade bushing system is worth the investment.
