Hornady Match Grade Bushing .312"

The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .312" is a precision reloading component engineered for competitive shooters and handloaders who demand match-winning accuracy from their ammunition. This interchangeable neck sizing bushing is part of Hornady's New Dimension Dies system, designed to eliminate case neck oversizing and deliver the consistency required for target shooting and competition load development. Reloaders selecting the correct bushing size ensure their cases maintain tight neck dimensions shot after shot.

This .312" bushing features a self-centering design that precisely aligns case necks during the sizing stroke, preventing the concentricity problems that plague standard full-length sizing dies. Hornady manufactures Match Grade bushings in .002" increments, allowing handloaders to fine-tune neck tension for their specific bullet diameter and intended use. The bushing's hardened steel construction resists wear through thousands of reloading cycles, maintaining dimensional accuracy that translates directly to tighter shot groups and improved velocity uniformity across a complete load sequence.

Competitive handloaders, precision rifle enthusiasts, and match ammunition developers benefit most from Match Grade bushings, particularly those working with tight-tolerance dies or experimenting with optimal neck sizing for specific projectiles. Installation is straightforward—the bushing screws directly into compatible Hornady New Dimension dies without requiring modifications. For anyone serious about reloading accuracy, having a selection of bushings in incremental sizes enables repeatable, scientifically-controlled neck sizing that separates competitive loads from standard ammunition.
