This is the Forster 0.250" neck bushing, part number BUSH-250, one piece in Forster's lineup of interchangeable sizing bushings. It drops into Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies, letting you control exactly how much your case necks get sized. If you want repeatable neck tension and brass that lasts longer, swapping in the right bushing is where it all starts.
The whole point of a bushing die setup is that your bushing choice determines the final inside diameter of the neck. This .250" bushing sizes the neck down and nothing more, so the body of your brass stays untouched and your cases stay concentric. Forster offers these in .001 inch increments, which means you can fine-tune bullet grip to match your brass and your load instead of settling for whatever a standard die gives you.
Forster heat treats and hones each bushing to the exact stated inside diameter, then runs it through a cryogenic process. That super-cooling step refines and tightens the surface of the steel, giving you a slick interior that sizes necks smoothly and holds up over a long reloading career. A smoother bushing means less drag on the brass and cleaner, more uniform loaded rounds.
The common method is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002 inches, which lands you near the industry-standard neck tension that keeps bullets from shifting during handling or cycling. Benchrest crowds often chase lighter tension, while hunters sometimes want a touch more grip. Keep in mind this .250" bushing is built specifically for Forster dies and will not interchange with Redding or L.E. Wilson setups. Made in the USA, it's a small part that makes a real difference on the bench.
This bushing is made for Forster's Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies. It is designed specifically for Forster equipment and does not interchange with Redding or L.E. Wilson bushings. If you run a Forster bushing die, this will drop right in.
A reliable starting point is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002 inches. That usually puts you right around the standard .002 inch of neck tension. Since Forster offers bushings in .001 inch steps, you can go up or down a size to fine-tune bullet grip for your specific brass.
After the bushings are heat treated and honed to size, Forster runs them through a super-cooling cryogenic process. This refines and closes the surface of the steel, leaving an ultra-smooth interior. The result is smoother neck sizing and bushings that hold up well over time.
No, this bushing only sizes the case neck. In a bushing bump die it works the neck and bumps the shoulder without touching the case body, which helps keep your brass concentric and extends its life. Your bushing choice is what sets the final inside diameter of the neck.
