Hornady Match Grade Bushing .312"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .312" is a precision neck sizing bushing engineered for reloaders who demand tight case neck control and extended brass life. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady Match Grade dies to let you dial in exactly the bullet tension you need—no guesswork, no oversizing that burns out your brass prematurely. If you're loading match ammunition or just tired of losing cases to unnecessary work-hardening, a match grade bushing system transforms your reloading bench from a one-size-fits-all operation into a precision tool.

The .312" bushing is sized in .002" increments, so you can find the exact neck fit for your specific bullets and brass. The self-centering design keeps your case neck square to the die body, which matters when you're chasing consistency. Whether you're running a Match Grade Full Length die (which handles body sizing and shoulder bump) or pairing it with a Neck Die (shoulder bump only, no body work), the bushing system adapts to your reloading workflow without forcing you into a one-method approach.

These bushings are built to the same quality standard as the rest of Hornady's Match Grade line—precision machining, clean finishing, and components that hold up through thousands of reloading cycles. The decap spindle uses the same proven design found in Hornady's Custom Grade dies, paired with an o-ring tensioner and elliptical expander ball for reliable, repeatable performance. If precision neck sizing and brass longevity matter to your shooting, this bushing is the foundation you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies work with the Hornady Match Grade Bushing .312"?

This bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade dies, including both the Full Length die and Neck die. Check your die model to confirm bushing compatibility before ordering.

How do I choose the right bushing size if .312" isn't exactly what I need?

Hornady Match Grade bushings come in .002" increments. If you need a size other than .312", Hornady offers other bushing diameters to match your specific brass and bullet combination.

Will using a match grade bushing really extend my brass life?

Yes. By letting you size the neck to your exact bullet tension instead of oversizing with a fixed die, you reduce unnecessary work-hardening. This means your brass survives more reloading cycles before becoming too brittle to reload safely.

Can I use this bushing with my full length die and my neck die?

Yes. The bushing is interchangeable between Hornady Match Grade Full Length dies and Neck dies, so you can move it between dies depending on your reloading setup and needs.
