Hornady Match Grade Bushing .336"
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .336" is a precision neck-sizing bushing designed for reloaders who run Hornady Match Grade dies and demand consistent, repeatable case prep. This .336" bushing lets you dial in the exact neck tension on your fired brass without over-working the metal—a key advantage for handloaders serious about accuracy at the range or in the field. Part of Hornady's modular bushing system, it gives you control over how snugly your cases grip each bullet, which directly affects runout, pressure, and group consistency.
Bushings in the Hornady system come in .002" increments, so you can fine-tune your sizing to match your specific bullet diameter and your preferred interference fit. The .336" bushing fits into compatible Match Grade Full Length and Neck sizing dies, where it works with Hornady's self-centering design to minimize runout. This approach—using a bushing instead of a fixed die neck—extends brass life by preventing unnecessary strain and over-sizing, a real benefit if you're running premium cases and reloading the same brass multiple times.
Whether you're loading for precision rifle, competition, or hunting, the ability to control neck tension with interchangeable bushings puts you in charge of your reloading process. This is the kind of detail-oriented equipment that separates careful, methodical reloaders from the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Hornady dies are compatible with this bushing?
This bushing is designed to work with Hornady Match Grade Full Length and Match Grade Neck sizing dies that accept interchangeable bushings.
Why would I use a bushing instead of a standard die neck?
Bushings let you control exactly how tight the case neck grips your bullet, reducing the risk of over-sizing your brass. This extends case life and gives you more control over neck tension, which affects accuracy and pressure.
What does .336" mean, and how do I know which bushing size I need?
The .336" is the inside diameter of the bushing. Since Hornady bushings come in .002" increments, you select the size based on your bullet diameter and how much tension you want. A smaller bushing creates more tension; a larger one creates less.
Can I use this bushing in other brands' dies?
No—this bushing is made for Hornady Match Grade dies that feature the proprietary bushing system.
