Hornady Match Grade Bushing .277"
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .277" is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand tight tolerances and consistent case prep. If you're running a Match Grade die set or upgrading your existing neck-sizing setup, this interchangeable bushing lets you dial in exactly the amount of neck tension your loads need—without over-working your brass or chasing inconsistent velocities shot to shot.
Hornady's match-grade bushings are self-centering, meaning they position the case neck concentrically as it's sized, a feature that pays dividends in accuracy. Because bushings come in .002" increments, you can find the exact fit between your brass and bullets. That precision eliminates the guesswork of standard full-length sizing and extends case life by preventing unnecessary work-hardening of the neck.
The .277" bushing pairs with Hornady's Match Grade dies to handle the neck sizing portion of the reloading cycle while working in tandem with the die's self-centering decap spindle and elliptical expander ball. Whether you're loading for a .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, or another .277"-bullet cartridge, this bushing is the fine-tuning tool serious handloaders reach for when factory ammo accuracy won't cut it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies do Hornady Match Grade bushings work with?
Hornady Match Grade bushings are designed for use with Hornady Match Grade die sets. The bushing installs in the die's bushing seat and works with the die's self-centering decap spindle and expander ball.
What calibers can I use the .277" bushing for?
The .277" bushing is for cartridges that fire .277" diameter bullets, including .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, and similar rounds. Verify your specific cartridge's bullet diameter before purchasing.
Can I switch between different bushing sizes?
Yes—that's the advantage of the interchangeable design. Bushings come in .002" increments, so you can swap them to fine-tune neck tension for different bullets or loads without replacing the entire die.
Why use a bushing instead of a standard neck-sizing die?
Bushings let you size the case neck to match your specific bullet and desired tension, eliminating over-sizing and the brass work-hardening that comes with it. This extends case life and improves reloading consistency.
