Hornady Match Grade Bushing .268"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .268" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand consistency and control over their handloads. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade die system to let you dial in exactly the neck tension you want on your cases — without the guesswork or risk of over-working your brass. If you're loading for a tight-tolerance rifle or pushing for sub-MOA accuracy at distance, this bushing gives you the fine-tuning capability that factory ammo simply can't match.

The .268" bushing is one size in Hornady's lineup available in .002" increments, so you can find the exact fit for your specific bullets and cases. The self-centering design ensures consistent sizing every time, and it pairs seamlessly with both the Match Grade Full Length Die (for complete case sizing) and the Match Grade Neck Die (for neck-only sizing). This modular approach means you're not locked into one bushing size — you can swap them out to accommodate different bullet diameters or brass lots without replacing your entire die set.

Built to the same exacting standards as Hornady's Custom Grade dies, the .268" bushing works in concert with features like the self-centering decap spindle with o-ring tensioner and the elliptical expander ball. Whether you're benchrest shooting, hunting at extended range, or simply committed to making every round count, this bushing is a straightforward way to tighten your process and reduce variables in the reloading cycle.
