Hornady Match Grade Bushing .362"
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .362" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who want to fine-tune case neck tension and extend brass life. If you're running Hornady Match Grade or Neck Sizing dies and need to dial in consistent neck fit for your bullets, this .362" bushing gives you the control to do it without overworking your brass. Hornady's interchangeable bushing system is built around the idea that one-size-fits-all sizing wears out your cases fast—this bushing lets you size to exactly the tension you need.
The .362" size is part of Hornady's .002" increment bushing lineup, so you can step up or down in small increments to find your sweet spot. The bushing works with both the Match Grade Full Length Die (which sizes the body, bumps the shoulder, and necks down) and the Neck Die (which sizes only the neck and bumps the shoulder). Because the bushing is self-centering, you get repeatable, concentric sizing without extra fuss—critical for precision handloading and especially valuable if you're prepping brass for long-range or competition shooting.
This is a component designed for reloaders who already own or are building a Match Grade die set. Hornady's match-grade tooling is known for tight tolerances and clean finishing, and this bushing carries that standard. It's a straightforward way to upgrade your neck sizing control and get more life out of quality brass.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies does this .362" bushing work with?
This bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade Full Length Dies and Match Grade Neck Dies. It will not work with other die brands or older Hornady die styles.
How do the .002" increment bushings help with reloading?
Hornady offers bushings in .002" size steps, allowing you to dial in the exact neck tension your rifle prefers. You can reduce tension slightly without buying a whole new die set, and you avoid over-sizing brass, which extends case life.
Do I need multiple bushings, or is one enough?
Many precision reloaders keep a few bushings in adjacent sizes (.360", .362", .364") so they can experiment and find the optimal fit for their specific bullet and rifle combo. One bushing will work, but having options lets you dial it in more finely.
