This is Forster's .245" neck bushing (part number BUSH-245), a precision steel insert that drops into both the Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die and the Bushing Full Length Sizing Die. The whole point of a bushing setup is control. Instead of relying on a fixed expander, your bushing choice sets the inside neck diameter, which means you decide exactly how much grip the case neck puts on the bullet. For folks chasing tight groups off the bench, that kind of repeatability is where accuracy lives.
Bushings let you size case necks to your exact requirements rather than a one-size approach. A good rule of thumb is to pick a bushing around .002" smaller than a loaded round measures at the case neck, and since Forster offers these in .001" increments, you can fine-tune for your particular brass and neck wall thickness. Keep in mind that brass work-hardens after several firings, so you may eventually want a slightly smaller bushing to keep the same bullet grip.
Forster runs these bushings through a super-cooling cryogenic process after heat treating. The cryo treatment refines and closes the surface of the steel, and then each bushing is honed to the precise inside diameter stated. The result is what Forster likes to call a "smooth as silk" finish, and that ultra-smooth interior is a big part of why these produce cleaner, more concentric loaded rounds with less effort on the press.
This bushing is built specifically for the Forster system. It works in the Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die and the Bushing Full Length Sizing Die, but it is not cross-compatible with Redding or L.E. Wilson dies, so make sure you are running a Forster die before adding it to your cart. It is sold as a single bushing, which makes it an easy way to fill a gap in your set or add a new size as you refine a load.
It is designed for the Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die and the Forster Bushing Full Length Sizing Die. It is not compatible with Redding or L.E. Wilson dies, so you'll want a Forster bushing die to use it.
A common approach is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round, then choose a bushing about .002" smaller than that measurement. Forster offers these in .001" increments so you can dial in the exact neck tension your brass and bullet combo needs.
After heat treating, Forster runs the bushings through a cryogenic process that refines and closes the surface of the steel. That gives the interior an extremely smooth finish, which helps produce cleaner, more consistent loaded rounds and extends the life of the bushing.
This is a single .245" bushing (BUSH-245). It's a handy way to add a specific size to your setup or replace one in your existing collection as you fine-tune a load.
