Precision neck sizing comes down to the right bushing, and this .306 diameter Hornady Match Grade bushing gives you that control. It drops into Hornady's Match Grade full-length and neck sizing dies and seats itself, floating free so the neck sizes concentric every time. For 7mm reloaders chasing tighter groups, swapping to the correct bushing diameter is one of the easiest ways to tighten up your process.
The whole point of a bushing die setup is control over neck tension, and that is exactly what this piece delivers. Rather than sizing every case neck down to a fixed SAAMI minimum and then opening it back up with an expander, you pick a bushing that sizes the neck to the diameter you want. Less working of the brass means your cases last longer and your necks stay more uniform. Hornady offers these bushings in .002 inch increments, so you can fine-tune tension up or down by stepping to a neighboring size.
Most reloaders land on their bushing by measuring the outside neck diameter of a loaded round, then subtracting around .002 to .003 inch for neck tension, which accounts for brass spring-back. A .306 bushing is a common choice for certain 7mm loads, but the ideal number depends on your brass neck thickness and the bullet you are seating. A lot of handloaders keep a bushing one size above and below their target on hand so they can experiment and see which gives the best accuracy with their exact components.
This bushing is machined from polished steel and runs an outer diameter of .750 inch to match the Hornady Match Grade die body. Made in the USA, it is a self-centering, interchangeable unit that is sold on its own, since Hornady Match Grade dies do not ship with a bushing included. Keep in mind this is a precision reloading component, not a standalone die, so you will need the matching Hornady Match Grade die to put it to work.
It fits Hornady Match Grade full-length and neck sizing dies. The bushing is self-centering inside the die body and floats free for concentric neck sizing. You will need the matching Hornady Match Grade die to use it, since the bushing is sold separately.
The common method is to measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round, then subtract about .002 to .003 inch for neck tension to account for brass spring-back. The result points you to the bushing diameter. Since neck thickness varies by brass brand, many reloaders keep a size above and below their target to fine-tune.
No. Hornady Match Grade dies ship without a bushing, so you select and add the diameter your cartridge and brass call for. That design lets you tailor neck tension to your exact load rather than being locked into one fixed size.
A bushing sizes the neck to the exact diameter you choose, so you can set neck tension in small increments. It also works the brass less than a standard die that sizes to minimum and reopens with an expander, which helps extend case life and keeps your necks more uniform for better accuracy.
