Forster Products 0.249-inch Neck Sizing Bushing

The Forster Products 0.249-inch Neck Sizing Bushing (brand part no. BUSH-249) is a precision-ground steel insert made for Forster Products bushing-style neck dies, letting a handloader dial in a specific case neck outside diameter without buying a whole new die. Swapping bushings is the standard way precision and bench-rest reloaders fine-tune neck tension for a given bullet and chamber, and a 0.249-inch bushing sizes to that exact outside diameter every time.

Key Specifications

• Precision-ground to a 0.249-inch outside diameter for consistent, repeatable neck sizing.
• Machined from hardened steel for a long service life under repeated sizing cycles.
• Drops into any Forster Products bushing-style neck die in place of the previous bushing.
• Interchangeable design lets a reloader stock multiple diameters and match neck tension to the load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bushing fit any bushing-style die? This bushing is sized for Forster Products bushing-style neck dies; check bushing pocket dimensions before using it in another brand’s die.

How do I know what diameter bushing I need? Measure a loaded round’s neck outside diameter and typically size 0.001 to 0.003 inch smaller for the desired neck tension.

Does this bushing decap the case too? No, the bushing only sizes the neck; decapping is handled by the die’s decapping pin during the same stroke.
