Oh wait! PMA bought Benchrite and I believe they have them.

Nope, discontinued as I thought. Only closeout sizes:

Have you checked Bruno’s (Redding) and/or Whidden?

I don't think anyone makes a carbide anymore. There used to be several out there but I'd bet the cost drove sales down and it likely wasn't profitable to do anymore. I think Benchrite was the last.

If you are not looking for carbide I just bought a .262 and .263 from Bullet Central. Another bonus is they were/are on sale. These were steel not carbide. I have both carbide and steel but cannot tell the difference between the two. YMMV

Search carbide bushings on the site. I think Speedy still has a pair of Benchrite .2630's left. They are sized for Redding, Wilson, etc.

Bullet Central has a Micron .263, not sure if its carbide but they are supposed to be very good bushings.

True carbide (Benchrite) is very very smooth and exceptionally accurate size.

Redding Titanium Nitride and RCBS Tungsten Disulfide bushings are very good but not as nice as carbide. They are pretty accurate on diameter.

I don't know what Micron uses but I'm sure that for $35 it's not carbide.

I had a set of Whidden steel bushings. I found these to be the lowest quality of the types I've tried.

Bud Mundy, NBRSA MS Valley Regional Director was offering them not too long ago in popular 6 mm PPC sizes.

I imagine it's not hard to get them made since there are so many shops that will grind carbide tooling. It does require some commitment to a minimum quantity.

It’s not difficult to find someone willing to do it, but the price you will pay per bushing and the minimum order quantity will deter most people.

I wanted carbide so I had my own made. Sold what I didn’t need at my cost. The price per bushing now would be $150/ea with a minimum order of 10. I got quotes from about a half dozen companies and that was the cheapest. Perhaps if you know someone who would give you a friend price…

I prefer carbide (obviously) but for what’s available currently, I would recommend the Short Action Custom bushings. They seem to produce the straightest necks after sizing.
