Hornady Match Grade Bushing .243 Neck Sizing Die
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing .243 is an interchangeable neck-sizing bushing designed for use with Hornady Match Grade Bushing Dies. By selecting the correct bushing diameter to suit your brass neck thickness, you gain precise control over neck tension — the key variable in consistent bullet seating for match-accuracy reloading.
Available in .001″ increments across the Hornady range, this .243″ inner-diameter bushing lets you fine-tune the fit between case neck and bullet, reducing neck stress and extending brass life compared to full-length sizing. The tight manufacturing tolerances Hornady applies to each bushing translate directly into more consistent neck tension shot to shot, which in turn supports tighter groups on the target.

This bushing made a noticeable difference in my match shooting. Groups are tighter and I’ve seen less brass deformation after several reloads. The .001″ increments allow for fine adjustments that I didn’t expect to be possible.

I’ve used it with my Hornady Match Grade dies and found the neck tension to be consistent across shots. The brass feels less stressed, and I’m getting better accuracy in my 243 Win loads.

Good precision tool. It’s easy to install and the small increments help me match my brass neck thickness exactly. A bit pricey, but worth it for match shooting.
