Standard Steel Neck Bushing sizes .300 -.375
Standard Steel neck sizing bushing that can be used with a Full length sizing die or neck die. Various sizes available in 0.001" increments covering a wide range of calibers.
To Calculate the bushing size you require, measure the neck diameter of the cartridge where the seated round sits in the neck and take this measurementย ย (Example 0.339") Now subtract 0.002" or 0.003" from this measurement and this will give you a size of a suitable bushing.
0.339 - 0.003 =ย 0.336"
Another method of calculating neck bushing size can be done by measuring the neck wall thickness of the brass and multiply this by 2 and then add the bullet diameter, once you have this number you can subtract 0.002" or 0.003" to get the bushing size.
Brass wall neck thickness x 2 =ย 0.029"
Bullet diameterย ย 0.308"
(Example)
0.308" + 0.029" =ย 0.337" Nowย subtractย 0.003" = 0.334" bushing sizeย
(Please note) some brass cases will become hardened with use a lot more than new or once fired brass and a small amount of spring back can be seen at times in the necks so if you have older brass that's not annealed, we suggest going a slightly tighter bushing.
