Hornady Match Grade Bushing .311"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .311" is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand match-grade accuracy and consistent case neck control. This interchangeable bushing works exclusively with Hornady Match Grade New Dimension Dies, enabling shooters to eliminate case neck oversizing and reduce brass work-hardening that compromises case life and concentricity.

The .311" sizing specification is calibrated for precise neck control in specialized rifle applications. Hornady manufactures these bushings in .002" increments, allowing reloaders to fine-tune neck diameter to match their exact brass specifications and intended bullet seating interference. The self-centering design within the die body ensures repeatable, centered sizing without case distortion—a critical factor in maintaining tight velocity spreads and group consistency at extended range. Unlike full-length sizing, the bushing approach preserves case shoulder geometry and allows brass to be reloaded multiple times without accelerated fatigue.

This bushing is essential for competitive reloaders, long-range precision shooters, and handloaders focused on maximizing case longevity while maintaining world-class accuracy. Custom and wildcat cartridge builders also value the availability of multiple bushing sizes to match non-standard neck diameters. Installation into a compatible Match Grade New Dimension Die is straightforward, and bushings are easily swapped when adjusting for different brass lots or bullet weights.

Hornady's reputation in precision reloading equipment is built on tight tolerances and consistent performance. The Match Grade Bushing line represents an affordable upgrade pathway for shooters already invested in Hornady's New Dimension Die platform, enabling them to transition from standard full-length sizing to the superior control of bushing-based neck sizing without replacing the entire die.
