Hornady Match Grade Bushing .313"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .313" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand consistency and control in their ammunition. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade dies to let you dial in exactly the right bullet tension for your loads—no guesswork, no over-sizing brass that'll wear out prematurely. If you're loading match ammunition or working with premium brass you want to preserve, a quality bushing die system pays for itself in longevity and performance.

Hornady's Match Grade bushings come in .002" increments, so you can find the perfect fit for your bullet and case combination. The .313" size fits standard applications across common rifle cartridges. The bushing itself is the wear component; when it eventually gets tired, you swap it out rather than replacing the entire die—that's the whole idea behind the interchangeable bushing design. The self-centering design keeps everything aligned, and the bushing works with both the full-length die (which sizes body and shoulder) and the neck die (neck-only sizing with shoulder bump).

Hornady backs this with the same decap spindle, o-ring tensioner, and elliptical expander ball architecture found in their Custom Grade dies. The quality of the finish and engineering reflects what you'd expect from a company that's been deep in the reloading game for decades. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a precision hunter, or simply someone who respects their brass, this bushing gives you the tool to reload smarter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies does this bushing work with?

This Hornady Match Grade bushing is designed for use with Hornady's Match Grade full-length or neck-sizing dies. The .313" size matches standard applications; verify your specific cartridge and die compatibility before ordering.

Why use a bushing die instead of a standard sizing die?

Bushing dies let you control neck tension independently by swapping bushings in .002" increments rather than being locked into a single sizing dimension. This prevents over-sizing brass, which extends its life and gives you better control over ammunition consistency—especially valuable for match shooting or precision hunting.

Do I need to buy a die separately, or does this bushing come with one?

This product is the bushing only. You'll need a compatible Hornady Match Grade die (full-length or neck die) to use it. The bushing is the interchangeable component that installs into the die.

What calibers can I use this .313" bushing for?

The .313" bushing is designed for cartridges that use .308" bullets. Confirm your specific cartridge is compatible with Match Grade dies and this bushing size before purchasing.
