Hornady Match Grade Bushing .270"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .270" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand tight case neck control and consistent bullet tension. If you're running Hornady Match Grade dies—either the full length or neck sizing version—these interchangeable bushings let you dial in exactly how much tension your bullets seat with, without the guesswork or the risk of overworking your brass. Available in .002" increments, they give you the fine-tuning authority that separates match-grade reloading from one-size-fits-all approaches.

The .270" bushing is self-centering and works with both Hornady Match Grade die styles: pair it with a full length die to size the case body, bump the shoulder, and control neck diameter all at once, or use it in a dedicated neck die for shoulder bumping and neck sizing alone. Either way, you're eliminating the oversizing that can age brass prematurely and degrade accuracy. The bushing integrates with Hornady's self-centering decap spindle, o-ring spindle tensioner, and the proven elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin found in their Custom Grade dies—components built to last through thousands of rounds.

This is the consumable precision piece that transforms a Match Grade die set into a truly dialed reloading setup. If you're chasing sub-MOA groups or simply refuse to compromise on case prep, the Match Grade bushing system rewards the attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Hornady dies are these bushings compatible with?

The .270" bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade dies, including both the full length die (which sizes case body, bumps shoulder, and sizes neck) and the dedicated neck sizing die (which sizes neck and bumps shoulder only). The bushing is self-centering and integrates with the Match Grade decap spindle system.

How do interchangeable bushings help with bullet tension?

By swapping bushings in .002" increments, you can adjust how much the die compresses your case neck around the bullet. This gives you precise control over bullet tension without changing dies—letting you find the sweet spot for accuracy and consistency without over-working your brass.

Will these bushings prevent brass from wearing out?

Yes. By sizing only to the tension you actually need rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all die, you avoid the over-sizing that accelerates case neck work-hardening and cracking. This extends brass life significantly over multiple reloads.

What's included with the bushing?

You receive the .270" bushing itself. The bushing installs into your existing Hornady Match Grade die and works with the self-centering decap spindle and expander ball already in that die.
