Forster Products 0.284'' Neck Bushing

The Forster Products 0.284'' neck bushing is a precision reloading component designed for handloaders who demand tight neck sizing control. This bushing works exclusively with Forster Precision Plus bushing bump dies, giving you the ability to tailor neck tension to your specific brass and cartridge needs. At 0.284 inches, this bushing is engineered for cartridges in that bore diameter range—think .284 Winchester, 7mm calibers, and similar rounds where consistency matters downrange.

Forster manufactures their bushings in 0.001-inch increments, so you get precise diameter control without the guesswork. The 0.284'' size slots into that full lineup, giving you flexibility if you ever need to adjust neck tension up or down by selecting a different bushing diameter. All Forster bushings receive cryogenic treatment, a process that hardens the material and creates an exceptionally smooth bearing surface—that translates to easier seating and longer tool life before you'll need to replace it.

If you're running a Forster Precision Plus bushing bump die on your press, this bushing is your precision tool for consistent neck sizing. It's a straightforward upgrade from standard sizing dies and worth the investment if you're serious about handload quality. Keep in mind: Forster bushings are not compatible with other brands' bushing-style dies, so make sure your die is a Forster before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bushing work with my current reloading die?

Only if your die is a Forster Precision Plus bushing bump die. Forster bushings are not interchangeable with bushings from other manufacturers, so verify your die brand and model before purchasing.

What calibers does the 0.284'' bushing size?

This bushing is intended for cartridges with a 0.284-inch neck diameter, including .284 Winchester and 7mm calibers. Check your specific cartridge specifications to confirm the correct neck diameter for your rounds.

Can I adjust neck tension by switching bushing sizes?

Yes. Forster manufactures bushings in 0.001-inch increments, so you can order a slightly larger or smaller bushing if you want to change neck tension without replacing your die.

What does cryogenic treatment do?

Cryogenic treatment hardens the bushing material and creates a smoother, more durable bearing surface. This results in easier operation and a longer service life for the bushing.
