Enhance your reloading precision with RCBS Steel Neck Sizing Bushings!
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are interchangeable components designed to allow reloaders to select the perfect bushing that provides the ideal amount of tension on the bullet when using RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies. These bushings play a crucial role in ensuring the consistency and accuracy of your ammunition.
Key Features:
- Self-Centering: Ensures proper alignment with the case neck for optimal performance.
- Reduced Work Hardening: A precisely fitted Steel Neck Bushing minimizes work hardening of the case neck brass, extending case life.
- Recommended Brass: For best results, use high-quality brass with consistent neck thicknesses.
- Traditional Lubrication Required: Bushings come "in-the-white" (bare steel), necessitating traditional case lubrication.
- 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 optimal results. These Steel Neck Bushings are a small yet essential component for loading ammunition that shoots 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".
