Hornady
The Hornady Match Grade Bushing in .242 diameter is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand consistent case neck tension and minimal brass work. If you're loading match ammunition or hunting rounds where repeatability matters, swapping bushings lets you fine-tune neck fit to your specific bullet without full-length sizing or oversizing brass that shortens case life. These bushings work with Hornady Match Grade dies and come in .002-inch increments, giving you the control to dial in the exact tension your loads need.
Neck tension is one of the biggest variables in reload consistency, and a .242 bushing sized to your exact needs beats a one-size-fits-all approach. Because bushing-style dies size only the neck (not the body or shoulder), you preserve case dimensions longer and extend brass life—especially valuable if you're sorting and prepping premium brass or shooting the same cases through multiple precision rifles. The self-centering design keeps the bushing aligned for uniform sizing, and Hornady's engineering is reflected in the quality of the fit and finish.
This is a replacement or upgrade bushing, meant to pair with a Hornady Match Grade die body. If you're already running Match Grade equipment, picking up different bushing sizes lets you load ammunition tailored to different bullets, magazine specs, or chamber tolerances without buying multiple die sets. Handloaders serious about accuracy recognize that controlling neck tension is as important as powder charge and bullet seating—and the .242 bushing is the tool that makes it possible.

The .242 bushing is designed for Hornady Match Grade die bodies. It allows you to size case necks to a specific diameter that matches your bullet and chamber requirements.
Different bullets, rifles, or magazines may require slightly different neck tension. Bushings in .002-inch increments let you adjust fit without buying new dies, extending brass life by avoiding unnecessary oversizing.
No, this is the bushing component only and is designed to work with existing Hornady Match Grade die bodies.
Hornady Match Grade bushings allow you to size only the case neck with the selected bushing; the die can also bump the shoulder without full body sizing, which preserves case dimensions and extends brass life.
