Enhance Your Reloading Precision with RCBS Steel Neck Sizing Bushings
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are designed for reloading enthusiasts who demand the utmost precision when using RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies. These interchangeable bushings allow you to select the perfect fit for optimal bullet tension, ensuring consistent performance.
Key Features:
- Self-Centering: Ensures proper alignment with the case neck for improved accuracy.
- Durability: Reduces work hardening of case neck brass, prolonging case life.
- Best Practices: For optimal results, use high-end brass with consistent neck thicknesses.
- Finish: Bushings come "in-the-white" (bare steel), requiring traditional case lubrication.
- Compatibility: Designed exclusively for use with RCBS Gold Medal sizing dies.
RCBS recommends having neck bushings one to two sizes above and below your target diameter to achieve the best results. This small yet critical component plays a significant role in loading ammunition that performs consistently well with your Gold Medal Match sizing dies.
Brownells Gun Tech™ Tip:
There are two effective methods to select the steel neck bushings you need:
- Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003". This allows approximately .001" of brass to spring back for correct neck tension.
- Measure the neck wall thickness of your case, multiply by two, add the diameter of your bullet, and subtract .002" to .003".
