The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .259" is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand repeatable, consistent case preparation. This interchangeable bushing works with Hornady Match Grade dies to let you dial in exactly the neck tension your handload requires—without the risk of over-working brass or creating excessive sizing pressure. Available in .002-inch increments, the .259" bushing sits at the heart of a true match-grade reloading system that treats your brass like the precision tool it is.
Reloaders working with Match Grade dies benefit from the self-centering design of these bushings, which centers your case neck automatically during sizing. This removes variables that can throw off consistency from round to round. Whether you're neck-sizing only (with a Match Grade Neck Die) or running a full-length sizing cycle (with a Match Grade Full Length Die), the right bushing diameter ensures your bullets seat at the tension that optimizes accuracy for your specific load. Swapping bushings takes seconds, so you can fine-tune and experiment without investing in multiple die sets.
Hornady backs this bushing with the same attention to detail found throughout their Match Grade line: self-centering decap spindle, o-ring spindle tensioner, and the elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin proven in their Custom Grade dies. For handloaders chasing accuracy at the range or in the field, a Match Grade bushing setup eliminates guesswork and extends brass life.
| Bushing Diameter | .259" |
| Bushing Increment | .002" |
| Brand | Hornady |
| Type | Match Grade Neck Sizing Bushing |
These bushings are designed for use with Hornady Match Grade dies, including both the Full Length and Neck sizing die models. The bushing installs in the die to control how tightly the case neck is sized.
Hornady Match Grade bushings are available in .002-inch increments, allowing you to select the bushing diameter that gives you your desired bullet tension. The right bushing size depends on your bullet diameter and how much neck tension you want—tighter for competition loads, looser for hunting or general shooting.
Yes. Because these bushings let you size the case neck to only what's necessary—without over-sizing—they reduce unnecessary work-hardening of the brass, which can extend the number of reloading cycles your cases will safely handle.
The bushing size you need depends on your specific bullet diameter and desired neck tension. You may need different bushings if you shoot different calibers or switch between bullet diameters, but one bushing can work across reloads as long as your components remain consistent.
