Hello Chris, yes this product will work with neck bushings. Hope this helps and have a great day!
Hi Chris and welcome. Yes Sir it does take neck bushings. The kit comprises a full-length sizing die featuring an E-Z case neck expander, a bench rest seater die and a cross bolt die locking ring for enhanced stability and secure locking. Cheers and stay safe!
Forster Full Length Die: The standard Forster Full Length Die for 30-06 resizes the entire case neck, bumps the shoulder back, deprimes, and expands the case neck using their "E-Z Out" expander ball system. Bushing Dies: These dies, like the Forster Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die, use interchangeable bushings to control the amount of neck sizing, allowing for more precise neck tension adjustment. Modification: While not standard, the Forster Full Length die can be modified to accept bushings. This involves removing the expander ball assembly and replacing it with a bushing, often requiring the purchase of bushings separately. Benefits of Bushing Dies: Bushing dies allow for more consistent neck tension, which can improve accuracy and extend brass life. When to Use Bushing Dies: Bushing dies are particularly useful for handloaders who want to fine-tune neck tension, neck turn their brass, or when using ammunition in semi-automatic rifles.
Hi Chris, The Forster 30-06 Springfield Full Length Die Set does not support interchangeable neck bushings from other brands, as it uses proprietary bushings specific to Forster dies. Therefore, you will need to use Forster bushings for this die set. The Forster 30-06 Springfield Full Length Die Set does not typically come with neck bushings; it usually includes the full-length sizing die and a seater die. For neck bushings, you may need to purchase them separately. Stay safe & have a great day!
