STEEL NECK SIZING BUSHINGS – STEEL NECK BUSHING .257

Description

Original price was: $16.99.Current price is: $13.30.

RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are interchangeable to let the reloader select a bushing that gives precisely the right amount of tension on the bullet when using RCBS Gold Medal Match sizing dies. Using a precisely fitted Steel Neck Bushing reduces work hardening of the case neck brass, prolonging case life and helping to improve accuracy.

  • Self-centering for proper alignment with case neck
  • For best results, the use of high-end brass with consistent neck thicknesses is recommended
  • Bushings come "in-the-white" – bare steel – so traditional case lubrication is required
  • For use ONLY with RCBS Gold Medal sizing dies

RCBS recommends having neck bushings one to two sizes above and below your target diameter (see note below). RCBS Steel Neck Bushings are a small but critical component in loading extremely consistent-shooting ammo with your Gold Medal Match sizing dies.

Brownells Gun Tech™ Tip: There are two ways to select the steel neck bushings you need: (1) 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. (2) You can also measure the neck wall thickness of your case, multiply by two, add the diameter of your bullet and subtract .002" to .003".

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these brass cases and reloading components factory-new or once-fired? +

We stock both premium factory-new components and high-quality once-fired brass. Please check the specific product listing title and description carefully; once-fired brass is fully inspected, but we always recommend resizing and inspecting prior to priming and powder charging.

Will this case trimmer gauge or die set work with my progressive press setup? +

Our standard reloading dies and case length trimmer accessories utilize industry-standard threads (typically 7/8"-14) compatible with major single-stage, turret, and progressive presses like RCBS, Hornady, Lee Precision, and Dillon. Caliber-specific trim gauges must match your exact brass caliber.

Do you enforce shipping restrictions on powder, primers, or live ammunition? +

Yes. Non-hazardous reloading equipment (dies, case length trimmers, gauges, and unprimed brass) ships via standard ground carriers with no extra fees. Any orders containing smokeless powders or primers will incur standard federal HazMat handling fees and cannot be shipped via air transportation.

How can I track my shipment to ensure delivery safety? +

Precision reloading gear is valuable, so all orders are shipped with tracking enabled. As soon as your package is dispatched from our inventory warehouse, a tracking number will be emailed to you. You can monitor your shipment directly on our Track Order page using your unique Order ID.

Can I return precision measuring tools or die components if they don’t fit? +

We accept returns on unused, unaltered tools, case preparation equipment, and unopened component boxes within 30 days of item delivery. Due to safety and strict quality control on the reloading bench, we absolutely cannot accept returns on opened packs of primers, smokeless powder, or processed brass casings.
