Neck tension is one of those little details that separates good handloads from great ones, and a dedicated bushing is how precision reloaders take control of it. This is the Forster .292" neck bushing, part number BUSH-292, a single steel bushing honed to a precise inside diameter so you can size your case necks to exactly the spec your brass and bullet combination calls for.
Forster offers these bushings in .001" increments across a wide range, so you can fine tune bullet grip rather than settling for whatever a standard neck die gives you. The idea is simple: instead of relying on the rifle chamber to do the work, the bushing sizes the neck based on your brass wall thickness, which is what really determines how much tension you end up with. Swap bushings to go tighter or looser, and keep in mind that brass tends to work-harden after several firings, so you may want a slightly smaller bushing down the road to hold the same grip.
Every Forster bushing goes through a super-cooling cryogenic process that refines and closes the surface of the steel, leaving an ultra smooth interior. A slicker bushing means less drag on the brass and more consistent, better loaded rounds, which is exactly what you're chasing when you're loading for accuracy. Each one is heat treated and honed to the exact inside diameter stamped on it.
This bushing is built specifically for Forster dies and works in both the Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die and the Bushing Full Length Sizing Die. It is not cross-compatible with other brands of bushings, so it belongs in a Forster die body. To pick the right size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract .002", which lands you on the number marked on the bushing. If you run multiple brass lots or load several calibers in the 6.5mm family, having the .292" on hand gives you one more step in your tension ladder.
No. Forster neck bushings are made specifically for Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Dies and Bushing Full Length Sizing Dies. They are not interchangeable with bushings from other manufacturers, so keep this one paired with a Forster die body.
Measure the outside neck diameter of several loaded cartridges with a micrometer or dial caliper and use the smallest reading. Subtract .002" from that number and the result is the bushing size to grab. If that math lands you near .292", this is your bushing.
The super-cooling cryogenic process refines and closes the surface of the steel, leaving an ultra smooth interior. That slicker finish reduces drag on the brass as it passes through, which helps produce more consistent, better loaded rounds. It also adds to the durability of the bushing over time.
Possibly. Brass work-hardens after it has been fired several times, so after about four firings you may find it needs a slightly smaller bushing to maintain the same bullet grip. Keeping a couple of sizes on either side of your main bushing lets you adjust neck tension as your brass ages.
