Precision and reliability with RCBS Steel Neck Sizing Bushings
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are interchangeable components designed for reloaders seeking to achieve the perfect amount of tension on the bullet when using RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies. These bushings play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and longevity of your ammunition.
Key Features:
- Self-Centering: Ensures proper alignment with the case neck for consistent results.
- Reduced Work Hardening: A precisely fitted Steel Neck Bushing minimizes work hardening of the case neck brass, extending case life and improving accuracy.
- Recommended Brass: For optimal performance, the use of high-end brass with consistent neck thicknesses is advised.
- Traditional Lubrication Required: Bushings come "in-the-white" (bare steel), necessitating 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 for the best results.
Brownells Gun Tech™ Tip:
To select the appropriate steel neck bushings, consider the following methods:
- Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003". This adjustment allows for approximately .001" of brass to spring back for correct neck tension.
- Alternatively, measure the neck wall thickness of your case, multiply by two, add the diameter of your bullet, and then subtract .002" to .003".
RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are a small yet vital component in loading ammunition that consistently delivers exceptional shooting performance with your Gold Medal Match sizing dies.
