Redding 0.225'' Steel Neck Bushing

Redding's 0.225'' steel neck bushing is a precision reloading component designed for handloaders who demand consistency and control over their ammunition neck sizing. Whether you're fine-tuning match loads for a competition rifle, developing hunting ammunition, or simply looking to extend the life of your brass, a properly fitted neck bushing reduces sizing effort and helps maintain the tight tolerances that separate good ammo from great ammo. This bushing is engineered to work with Redding's neck-sizing die systems and gives you the ability to dial in your setup for repeatable, uniform rounds.

The 0.225'' bushing is machined from hardened steel and hand polished to a surface hardness of Rc 60-62, which means it resists wear and keeps your brass moving smoothly through the sizing process without unnecessary pressure on your press. That hardness also translates to longer tool life, so you're not constantly replacing worn components. The polished finish is a detail that matters—it reduces friction and makes the whole reloading experience more efficient, especially if you're processing large batches of brass.

Redding offers neck bushings in .001" increments across a full range of diameters, so finding the exact size for your cartridge and desired neck tension is straightforward. The 0.225'' size fits a specific bore range within Redding's bushing lineup, making it easy to locate other sizes if you reload multiple calibers.
