Neck tension is one of those little details that separates so-so handloads from the stuff that prints tight groups, and this is where a good bushing earns its keep. The Forster 0.269" neck bushing (part number BUSH-269) gives you precise control over how much your case necks get sized, so you can match your brass and your bullet instead of settling for whatever a one-size expander gives you. It's a simple piece of steel, but it does a big job.
Forster hones these bushings to the exact inside diameter stamped on them, which lets you size case necks to your own spec. The general rule reloaders follow is to pick a bushing roughly .002" under the neck diameter of a loaded round, and since Forster offers them in .001" increments, you can fine-tune for your brass neck wall thickness and the amount of grip you want on the bullet. Less fuss, more repeatability.
After heat treating, Forster runs these through a super-cooling cryogenic process. That refines and closes up the surface of the steel, giving you an ultra-smooth interior finish. The payoff is a cleaner sizing stroke and less working of the brass, which translates to better concentricity, lower runout, and loaded rounds you can trust for accuracy.
This bushing is built for Forster's bushing dies and drops right into a Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die or a Bushing Full Length Sizing Die. If you're already running a Forster bushing die and chasing a specific neck tension number, grabbing the right diameter bushing is the easy upgrade. Keep in mind these are made to work with Forster's system, so they're the correct match for Forster dies rather than other brands' bushing setups.
It's designed for Forster's bushing dies, including the Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die and the Bushing Full Length Sizing Die. These bushings are made to work within Forster's system, so they're the right match for Forster dies rather than other brands' bushing setups.
A good starting point is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round and choose a bushing roughly .002" smaller. So the 0.269" works well when your loaded neck measures around .271". Since Forster offers these in .001" increments, you can adjust up or down to dial in the exact neck tension you want for your brass.
After heat treating, Forster runs the bushings through a super-cooling cryogenic process that refines and closes up the surface of the steel. The result is an ultra-smooth interior finish, which gives you a cleaner sizing stroke and helps produce more concentric loaded rounds.
In Forster's bushing bump setup, the bushing you choose determines the inside neck diameter, so the sizing is controlled by the bushing itself. This lets you set neck tension precisely based on your brass wall thickness instead of relying on a traditional expander ball.
