Hornady Match Grade Bushing .276"
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .276" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand consistency and control over their ammunition. If you're running Hornady Match Grade dies, this bushing lets you dial in exactly how much tension you want on your bullet, rather than accepting whatever your full-length die gives you. That control translates to tighter groups and longer brass life, since you're sizing only what needs sizing instead of working your necks harder than necessary.
These bushings come in .002" increments, so you can fine-tune your neck tension in small, measurable steps. The .276" size works with Match Grade Full Length Dies and Neck Dies alike. Because the bushings are self-centering, you get consistent results without fussy alignment—drop it in, and it does the work. Paired with Hornady's self-centering decap spindle and o-ring spindle tensioner, you're looking at dies built for repeatability, not just volume.
Whether you're loading for competition, hunting with precision rifles, or just chasing better accuracy from your handloads, the Match Grade Bushing system gives you a straightforward way to control the one variable that often gets overlooked: how tight your neck grips the bullet. It's the kind of detail that separates good ammo from great ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing work with my Hornady Match Grade dies?
Yes. The .276" Match Grade Bushing is designed to work with both Hornady Match Grade Full Length Dies and Hornady Match Grade Neck Dies.
What's the advantage of interchangeable bushings over a standard die?
Interchangeable bushings let you control exactly how much tension the die applies to your case neck. By selecting the right bushing size, you avoid over-sizing your brass, which reduces neck work and extends case life. The .002" increment sizing also lets you find the sweet spot for your specific bullet diameter and desired fit.
