RC BUSHING DIAMETER - 0.302

The RCBS RC Bushing Diameter 0.302 (Part No. 81617) is a precision reloading component engineered for handloaders who demand consistency and accuracy in ammunition manufacturing. This bushing is a critical precision part in the RCBS reloading press system, designed to resize rifle cartridge cases with exacting tolerances. The 0.302-inch diameter specification makes this bushing suitable for specific cartridge neck sizing applications where dimensional control directly impacts shot-to-shot consistency and rifle chamber compatibility.

RCBS bushings are manufactured to maintain tight tolerances that ensure case necks are sized to the precise dimensions required for reliable chambering and consistent ignition. The 0.302-inch bore diameter is engineered for cartridges requiring this specific neck dimension during the resizing process. Proper bushing selection is fundamental to handload quality—undersized cases can fail to chamber, while oversized cases introduce excessive headspace variation that compromises accuracy and pressures. This bushing integrates directly into RCBS bushing-style reloading dies, providing the controlled neck sizing that serious reloaders depend on when working with precision rifle ammunition.

This component is essential for competitive shooters, precision rifle reloaders, and handloaders working with cartridges specified for 0.302-inch neck bushing sizing. Match-grade ammunition demands cannot be met without precision resizing components that hold cartridge case necks to exacting specifications. The RCBS bushing system allows reloaders to select the exact bushing diameter needed for their specific chamber and performance requirements, making this 0.302-inch option an indispensable part of a complete reloading setup for dedicated precision ammunition builders.
