This is the .284" bushing for Hornady's Match Grade bushing dies, built for handloaders chasing precision with 6.5mm cartridges. The whole idea behind a bushing system is control. Instead of a fixed sizing diameter, you pick the bushing that matches the neck tension you want, and this one sits right in the middle of the 6.5mm range at a .284" inside diameter. It drops into the die and self-centers, so you get consistent, concentric neck sizing pass after pass.
The real payoff here is brass life and consistency. By sizing only the neck down to the amount you need, you stop overworking the brass the way a standard full-diameter die can. Less overworking means fewer annealing headaches, slower case growth, and more loadings out of a single batch of cases. Hornady offers these bushings in .002" increments, so once you measure a loaded round and find your sweet spot, you can land right on it with the correct size.
This bushing is designed to drop into Hornady's Match Grade neck sizing die and Match Grade full length die. In the neck die it sizes the neck and bumps the shoulder without touching the case body, and in the full length die it handles body, shoulder, and neck in one stroke. A handy bonus is cross-compatibility, since these Hornady bushings also fit Redding, Wilson, and RCBS bushing dies, which makes them easy to source if you already run a bushing setup from another brand.
A good starting point is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round, then subtract about .001" and choose a bushing at or just under that number. The .284" works well for a lot of common 6.5mm loads, but if you run thinner or thicker brass you may want to step up or down a thousandth or two. Measure your own loaded ammo and let the numbers guide you rather than guessing.
It drops into Hornady's Match Grade neck sizing die and Match Grade full length die. These same bushings are also cross-compatible with Redding, Wilson, and RCBS bushing dies, so they work across most common bushing setups.
Measure the neck diameter of a loaded round, then subtract about .001" and pick a bushing at or just under that number. The .284" is a popular choice for many 6.5mm loads, but brass thickness varies, so let your own measurements make the final call.
No, the bushings are sold separately. Hornady's Match Grade dies are built to use interchangeable bushings so you can swap in the exact neck tension you want, and this .284" is one of those individual bushings.
A bushing lets you control exactly how much you size the neck rather than sizing it all the way down and expanding it back. That means less working of the brass, longer case life, and more consistent neck tension, which translates to tighter groups at the range.
