The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .249" is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand consistency and control over case prep. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade die system to let you dial in exactly how tight your case necks grip the bullet—eliminating guesswork and the risk of over-sizing brass that shortens case life. If you're loading match ammunition, hunting rounds where concentricity matters, or simply want to squeeze more reloads out of your brass, a properly sized bushing is the foundation of repeatable results.
The .249" bushing is one of Hornady's available sizes, offered in .002" increments so you can find the perfect fit for your specific brass and bullets. The bushing itself is self-centering, meaning it automatically positions your case for uniform neck sizing without fussy setup. When installed in a Match Grade Full Length Die, it sizes the case neck while the die handles body sizing and shoulder bumping. Pair it with a Match Grade Neck Die and you get neck-only sizing with shoulder bump—ideal for precision handloading where you want to preserve case dimensions between firings.
Like all Hornady Match Grade components, this bushing is built to the same exacting standards as their Custom Grade Dies, with attention to finish and durability. It's a small part with a big impact on your reloading consistency and brass longevity.
| Product Type | Interchangeable Neck Sizing Bushing |
| Brand | Hornady |
| Size | .249 inch |
| Sizing Increment Availability | .002 inch increments |
| Die Compatibility | Hornady Match Grade Full Length Dies, Hornady Match Grade Neck Dies |
This bushing works with Hornady's Match Grade Full Length Dies (for complete case sizing) and Match Grade Neck Dies (for neck-only sizing with shoulder bump). The bushing installs directly into the die and is self-centering during operation.
Bushings are available in .002" increments. The correct size depends on your specific case and bullet diameter. Start by measuring your prepared brass and bullet diameter, then select the bushing that gives you the bullet tension you prefer—typically a few ten-thousandths of an inch smaller than bullet diameter for proper neck fit.
Yes. By sizing only to the bushing diameter you choose, rather than the full die opening, you avoid over-sizing the neck. Over-sized necks work the brass harder on each firing cycle and shorten reusable life. A properly fitted bushing helps preserve your brass for many more reloads.
Yes. The .249" bushing is self-centering, meaning it automatically aligns your case for uniform sizing without requiring manual adjustment or setup between rounds.
