Carbide Neck Die Bushings

$52.00

Benchrest shooters have used Carbide Neck Die Bushings for many years because the many advantages they offer over steel bushings outweighs their higher cost. Carbide Bushings are “straight”, true to size, cannot be scratched by grit on case necks, don’t wear from years and years of use, and are available in ½ thousandth sizes. These bushings are the standard ½ inch diameter by 3/8 inch tall style used in most sizing dies – custom and standard production from Wilson, Redding, Hornady and most others. They will not fit the Jones dies with the shoulder machined in the bushing. Bushings go in the die in one direction only, with the highly polished chamfer down in the bushing cavity, and the Bushing Size is laser engraved on each bushing. Several top benchrest shooters have tried using very tight bushing sizes to obtain more “neck tension”, but they have found that bushing sizes smaller than .2655” with case necks cut to .0082” in a .262” chamber are not effective – they gain no more neck tension.

We are now stocking Carbide Bushings for the PPC and BR cases with .262” and .263” chamber necks and .267” to .270” chamber necks. Order the size you need by using the “drop-down” box. Other sizes may be available on special order, and we will be happy to order custom sizes for you – call or email us for non-stocked bushings. Bushings are made in batches several times a year, so there may be some delay in obtaining a special size.

 

UPDATE 9/23/22: BUSHINGS WILL NO LONGER BE BACK ORDERED. DELIVERY IS TOO UNCERTAIN, AND BACK ORDER TIME IS FREQUENTLY UNACCEPTABLY LONG. IF YOU ORDER AN "OUT-OF-STOCK" BUSHING, I WILL EMAIL YOU AND CREDIT YOU FOR THE BUSHING AS SOON AS YOUR ORDER CHARGE POSTS. NO "SPECIAL" SIZE BUSHINGS WILL BE ORDERED.

Carbide Neck Die Bushings

5/5
Fantastic product as recommended by my gunsmith and fellow shooter. The .2665 carbide bushing for 6BR precision reloading is true to size. It leaves necks shiny with no longitudinal scratches that I experience with steel or titanium nitride. Sizing operation is very smooth and yields low neck runout at .001" typical.

Great Product!

5/5
It is great to find a supplier of carbide bushings making a precision product and also giving a wide range of diameters that I have not seen before. I use them in an automated process that will size 20 to 30 thousand cases a day. These bushings are a perfect fit for my needs and has a highly polished inner surface that needs no additional work. I would highly recommend this product!!!

Best bushings on the planet! Worth every penny. Very small chamfer to size right down to the neck shoulder junction.

Carbide Bushing

5/5
Great product. Only wish I could get one in the .308” range for my 7 mm. My .264 works so well with my Dasher, I really would like one for the 7.
