Who makes best carbide bushings?

[DngBat7]

I am looking for carbide bushings in .287, .288, .289 I have a Whidden custom die but assume they all work? Who makes the “best” ones

At the risk of sounding like a wise-guy .....Mopar or Chevy ?
The question is based on personal preference and use , so there really isn't a "Right" answer . Any of the manufacturers that make carbide bushings strive to make them as accurately to the ten thousandths as possible . After-all , there name is on them . Whidden , Wilson , Redding , R.C.B.S. , are all used by top shooters . Take it from a retired carbide Die-maker , nobody willingly turns out junk ....

I like mine that I sold in the olden days. I have about 6 bushings each for 22,6mm, 6.5, and 30. Mine are in .0005 increments.

Do you still sell them?

No sir, I offered too many sizes and it got to be a very expensive proposition. Too much investment for the return.

Im pretty sure mine are from bud mundy via steve at benchrite. He has trays full he takes to matches but i think they concentrated on the 6mm since thats the only caliber shot at those matches

My memory may not be serving me right, but the guy that runs small caliber club dot com runs a shop and he makes a wide variety of bushings, and I believe he is the supplier for whidden or was at one time. May take some googling but his are very good and are not mass produced.

I never knew them to make carbide bushings. The CRT steel bushings that whidden sells are top shelf. Only ones ive bought since i discovered them

 

[L.Sherm]

No he didnt, just referencing that CRT doesnt make bushings anymore. I bought nothing but CRT's when he was now I get all mine from Whiddens.

Exactly. They are the best steel ones for sure

Does a gun shoot better if the bushing measured near it's advertised measurement or s smidge off?

Ray, I have several sizes for each neck size. I really only pay attention to the size when doing my tuning. Size isn't as important as knowing what I have when wanting either a larger or tighter size.

Personally, I like the TiN coated bushings. They practically eliminate the possibility of rusting.

Solid carbide bushings do not rust.
