Precision-engineered steel neck bushings for optimal ammunition loading.
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are designed to be interchangeable, allowing reloaders to select the perfect bushing that provides the ideal amount of tension on the bullet when utilizing RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies.
Key Features:
- Reduces Work Hardening: A precisely fitted Steel Neck Bushing minimizes work hardening of the case neck brass, extending the life of your cases and enhancing accuracy.
- Self-Centering Design: Ensures proper alignment with the case neck for consistent results.
- Recommended Brass: For optimal performance, it is advised to use high-end brass with uniform neck thicknesses.
- Raw Steel Finish: Bushings come "in-the-white" (bare steel), necessitating traditional case lubrication.
- Compatibility: Designed exclusively for use with RCBS Gold Medal sizing dies.
- Size Recommendations: RCBS suggests having neck bushings one to two sizes above and below your target diameter for best results.
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are a small yet vital component in crafting highly consistent, accurate ammunition with your Gold Medal Match sizing dies.
Brownells Gun Tech™ Tip:
There are two effective methods for selecting the steel neck bushings you require:
- Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003". This provides approximately .001" of brass to spring back for the correct neck tension.
- Alternatively, measure the neck wall thickness of your case, multiply by two, add the diameter of your bullet, and subtract .002" to .003".
