This is a single 0.225 inch neck sizing bushing from Forster Products, part number BUSH-225. It's the little piece that does the heavy lifting in a Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die or Bushing Full Length Sizing Die, letting you size the case neck to your exact spec instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all die. If you've ever wanted real control over bullet grip, this is how you get it.
What makes Forster bushings stand out is the finish. The steel is run through a cryogenic process that refines and tightens the surface, then each bushing is heat treated and honed to the precise inside diameter stamped on it. The result is a smooth-as-silk sizing stroke that works your brass as little as possible, which helps keep necks straight and extends case life over many loadings.
Bushings work off the wall thickness of your brass rather than the chamber, so the size you pick determines how far the neck gets squeezed down. The common starting point is to measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002 inch. Want a touch more grip for heavier recoil or a semi-auto? Bump that to .003 inch. Because Forster offers sizes in .001 inch increments, you can fine-tune tension down to the thousandth once you know what your rifle likes.
Keep in mind these are built specifically for Forster dies and won't interchange with Redding or Wilson bushings. The bushing installs chamfered side down into the top of the die body, and a slight amount of float lets it self-center on the neck. Most handloaders keep a few sizes on hand so they can adjust as brass gets fired and the necks spring back differently over time. If you're chasing consistent concentricity and tight groups, having the exact bushing for your load makes a real difference at the bench.
This bushing is made for Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies. It is not interchangeable with Redding or Wilson bushings, so it needs to go in a Forster die. The die itself is sold separately.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round with a caliper or micrometer, then subtract about .002 inch to find your bushing size. If you want a little more bullet grip, subtract .003 inch instead. Since the 0.225 bushing works off your brass wall thickness, it comes down to what your specific cartridge measures at the neck.
No, this listing is for one 0.225 inch bushing only. The die, decapping assembly, and any other bushings are purchased separately. A lot of reloaders keep a few neighboring sizes on hand so they can fine-tune neck tension.
The cryogenic process refines and closes the surface of the steel, giving the bushing an exceptionally smooth interior. That smoother finish means the neck slides through with less friction, working the brass less and helping with concentricity. Each bushing is also heat treated and honed to the exact inside diameter marked on it.
