Hornady 594291 Match Grade DIE Bushing .291 – Self-Centering Neck Sizing

Precision you can feel in every reload

The Hornady 594291 Match Grade DIE Bushing is a dedicated accessory for Hornady neck sizing dies. Designed to be self-centering and interchangeable, this polished steel bushing helps you dial in neck sizing with a level of repeatable accuracy that serious shooters expect. When paired with Hornady match-grade dies, it supports controlled brass work and consistent neck tension without forcing excessive sizing on every cycle.

In practice, the bushing works with both neck sizing and full-length match-grade dies. Its inside-diameter dimension determines the neck size you achieve when brass is placed into the die, making the choice of bushing a critical step in customization. While standard dies often size to SAAMI minimums, the right bushing allows for less brass work when your rifle and brass combination can benefit from a slightly tighter fit. The process begins with a simple measurement of your case neck diameter and ends with selecting a bushing that matches that diameter, or is just under it. This approach helps maintain case life and consistent performance across reloads.

Key benefits at a glance

• Self-centering design for repeatable neck sizing in Hornady dies
• Interchangeable with Hornady match-grade neck and full-length dies
• Inside-diameter size determines the neck finish to minimize brass work
• Available in .002 inch increments for precise tuning
• Compatible with common cartridge families: 223/22-250, 6mm PPC/243 Win, and 308 Win variants

How to choose the right size

Start by measuring the case neck diameter with a dummy or unloaded cartridge in your rifle. Subtract 0.001 inch to estimate a practical starting point. Select the bushing size that equals that measurement or is slightly under it. Because bushings ship in .002 inch increments, small adjustments can yield meaningful changes in neck tension and brass life over many cycles.

Note the available bushing ranges corresponding to common calibers: .242–.248 for 223 Rem and 22-250 Rem, .260–.266 for 6mm PPC and 243 Win, and .332–.338 for 308 Win. These options let you tailor neck sizing to your brass and chamber specifications without guesswork.

Using this bushing is a practical step toward consistent reloading results. It provides a way to fine-tune neck sizing according to your brass type and chamber, without overworking the brass or introducing unnecessary resistance. While results can vary with individual components and rifles, many shooters find that precision sizing contributes to smoother chambering, a steadier neck tension across reloads, and greater confidence in the reloads you assemble.
