Description
If you shoot a 22-250 Rem and want more say over how your brass performs, the Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die Kit gives you that control. Instead of full-length sizing the whole case every time, this die only works the neck and bumps the shoulder back a touch. The body of your brass keeps that fire-formed glove fit to your chamber, which is exactly what you want for repeatable accuracy and brass that lasts longer before it needs trimming or ends up in the recycle bin.
How the 22-250 Bushing Bump Die Works
The magic here is the interchangeable bushing system. The bushing you drop in sets your neck's outside diameter, and swapping bushings in .001 inch increments lets you fine-tune bullet grip to match your brass and your load. The kit comes with three bushings Forster pre-selected for the 22-250 Rem: .251, .249, and .247. A good starting point is measuring the neck of a loaded round and picking a bushing about .002 inch under that number. Meanwhile, the die bumps the shoulder for proper headspace so your bolt closes smooth instead of feeling sticky and bound up.
What Sets the Forster Bushing Bump Neck Kit Apart
These dies are built the way Forster builds everything, machined on precise lathes to tight tolerances, heat treated, and hand polished for a slick interior that sizes necks cleanly. The die includes a decapping assembly so you deprime in the same step. Worth noting: there's no expander ball included, so your bushing selection alone determines the inside neck diameter. If you're turning your necks to a uniform wall thickness, that's a feature, not a drawback, since it keeps the brass from getting overworked. The die is designed to run Forster bushings specifically.
Who Gets the Most Out of This 22-250 Die Kit
This one's for the handloader chasing tight groups out of a varmint or target rig. If you're already sorting brass, checking runout, and caring about neck tension consistency, the Bushing Bump setup rewards that effort. Made in the U.S.A. and built to hold up load after load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which bushings come in the 22-250 Bushing Bump kit?
The kit ships with three Forster neck bushings sized .251, .249, and .247. These are the sizes Forster pre-selects as the most commonly needed for 22-250 Rem brass. A good rule of thumb is to measure the neck of a loaded round and choose a bushing about .002 inch smaller than that measurement.
Does this die include an expander ball?
No, there's no expander ball in this kit. Your bushing selection alone sets the inside neck diameter, which is why neck wall thickness consistency matters more with this die. An expander ball can be ordered separately if you prefer to run one.
What's the difference between a Bushing Bump die and a full-length sizing die?
A full-length die resizes the entire case body every time, while this Bushing Bump die only sizes the neck and bumps the shoulder back. That leaves the fire-formed body untouched, so your brass keeps its tight fit to your chamber and gets worked less. The result is straighter necks, consistent neck tension, and longer case life.
Can I use Redding or Wilson bushings in this Forster die?
This die is built to use Forster bushings. If you need a size outside the three included, Forster offers bushings in .001 inch increments so you can fine-tune neck tension to your exact brass and load.
