This is the Forster 0.224" neck bushing, machined to a precise inside diameter so you can fine-tune how much your case necks get sized down. Instead of being locked into whatever a standard die hands you, a bushing setup lets you control neck tension to match your brass, your bullets, and the way your rifle shoots. For anyone chasing tighter groups with .22 caliber cartridges, this is how you take the guesswork out of bullet grip.
Forster offers these in 0.001 inch increments, which is what makes the system so handy. The amount the neck gets sized depends mostly on the wall thickness of your brass, so having the right diameter on hand lets you nail down the exact grip you want on the bullet. A common starting point is picking a bushing roughly .002 inch smaller than your loaded round measures at the neck, then adjusting from there based on how the ammo feeds and groups.
Every Forster bushing is heat treated and honed to the stated inside diameter, then run through a cryogenic process that refines and tightens the surface of the steel. The result is an ultra-smooth interior that Forster describes as "smooth as silk," and that finish matters. A slick bushing works the brass less, keeps runout down, and helps your necks stay concentric round after round, which usually shows up as better consistency on paper.
This bushing is built to work with Forster's Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies. One thing worth knowing up front: Forster bushings are their own design and are not interchangeable with Redding or L.E. Wilson bushings, so plan on running these inside a Forster die body. Serious .22 cal reloaders often keep a few diameters in the box so they can tune neck tension without pulling the whole die apart, and the 0.224" is a bread-and-butter size for a lot of popular .22 centerfire chamberings.
It's made for Forster's Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies. Keep in mind Forster bushings are their own design and won't fit Redding or L.E. Wilson dies, so you'll want to run it inside a Forster die body.
A good rule of thumb is to measure the neck of a loaded round and pick a bushing about .002 inch smaller than that measurement. Since neck tension depends heavily on your brass wall thickness, many reloaders keep a couple of diameters nearby to fine-tune grip. From there you adjust based on how the ammo feeds and how it groups.
After heat treating and honing, Forster runs the bushings through a cryogenic process that refines and closes up the surface of the steel. That gives you an ultra-smooth interior, which works the brass less and helps keep runout down for more consistent, better looking loaded rounds.
This listing is for one 0.224" neck bushing. Forster offers these individually in 0.001 inch increments, so you can build out exactly the diameters you need for your .22 caliber reloading.
