Hornady Match Grade Bushing .259"$22.13
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing in .243" is a precision neck sizing bushing designed for reloaders who want to dial in exact bullet tension without overworking their brass. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady Match Grade dies to let you control how tightly the case neck grips your bullet—a level of control that separates match-grade handloads from good-enough ones. If you're loading ammunition for competition, long-range hunting, or any shooting where consistency matters, this bushing gives you the repeatability you need without the guesswork.
The .243" bushing is self-centering, meaning it automatically aligns concentrically during the sizing stroke for uniform neck tension across all your rounds. Hornady produces these bushings in .002 inch increments, so you can fine-tune your neck sizing to your exact specifications—whether you're pushing a light varmint bullet or a heavier match load. This precision approach extends brass life by eliminating the over-sizing that happens with one-size-fits-all full length dies, keeping your premium brass in service longer and saving you money over time.
These bushings integrate seamlessly with Hornady Match Grade Full Length and Neck Dies, both of which feature a self-centering decap spindle with o-ring tension and an elliptical expander ball paired with a headed decap pin. The bushing itself is well finished and built to the same quality standard you'd expect from Hornady's Match Grade line—engineered for the reloader who refuses to compromise on ammo quality.
| Bushing Diameter | .243" |
| Type | Interchangeable neck sizing bushing |
| Sizing Increments Available | .002" increments |
| Compatibility | Hornady Match Grade Full Length Die, Hornady Match Grade Neck Die |
This bushing is designed for use with Hornady Match Grade Full Length Dies and Hornady Match Grade Neck Dies. The bushing installs in the die and controls how much the case neck is sized during the reloading process.
Bushings let you control bullet tension precisely, sizing the neck only as much as needed for your specific bullet diameter and load. This prevents over-sizing that can weaken brass and reduce its lifespan, making bushings ideal for precision reloading and brass conservation.
Yes—Hornady produces Match Grade bushings in .002 inch increments across a range of diameters. If .243" isn't your exact size, Hornady offers alternatives so you can dial in the perfect fit for your ammunition.
The bushing itself is the sizing component; it works with the decap spindle and pin system built into your Hornady Match Grade die. The die includes the elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin.
