The RCBS 10608 MatchMaster Full-Length Bushing Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for .22-250 Remington cartridges. This professional-grade die set enables handloaders to achieve consistent neck tension and superior concentricity for match-quality ammunition. The interchangeable bushing system provides precise control over case neck dimensions without overworking the brass.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard full-length dies that can overwork case necks, the MatchMaster system uses interchangeable titanium nitride-coated bushings to size only what's necessary. The floating carbide expander eliminates the need for case neck lubrication while reducing runout to under 0.002 inches. This modular approach extends brass life by 40-60% compared to conventional sizing methods while maintaining chamber-specific dimensions.
Key Features
- Interchangeable bushing system with titanium nitride coating for extended life
- Floating carbide expander ball eliminates case neck lubrication requirements
- Precision-ground steel construction with 0.0002-inch tolerances
- Compatible with all standard 7/8-14 reloading presses
- Includes sizing die, seating die, and shell holder
- Reduces case neck runout to 0.002 inches or less
- Extends brass case life by 40-60% over standard dies
Competitive shooters and precision handloaders rely on the MatchMaster system for consistent performance across multiple firing cycles. The controlled neck tension improves bullet seating consistency, resulting in tighter groups and reduced velocity variations. Weather conditions don't affect the titanium nitride coating, ensuring consistent sizing performance in humid or dusty environments. The system accommodates various bullet weights from 40-grain varmint loads to 60-grain match bullets.
