Enhance your reloading precision with RCBS Steel Neck Sizing Bushings
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are interchangeable components designed to provide the reloader with the ability to select a bushing that delivers the perfect amount of tension on the bullet when using RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies.
Key Features:
- Precision Fit: Using a precisely fitted Steel Neck Bushing reduces work hardening of the case neck brass, prolonging case life and improving accuracy.
- Self-Centering: Ensures proper alignment with the case neck for optimal performance.
- High-Quality Materials: For best results, it is recommended to use high-end brass with consistent neck thicknesses.
- Traditional Lubrication Required: Bushings come "in-the-white" (bare steel), so traditional case lubrication is necessary.
- Compatibility: Designed for use ONLY with RCBS Gold Medal sizing dies.
RCBS recommends having neck bushings one to two sizes above and below your target diameter for the best results. These Steel Neck Bushings are a small yet critical component in loading extremely consistent-shooting ammunition 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".
