Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.233

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing in .233" is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who want tight, consistent case neck fit without full-length sizing. If you're working up accurate handloads for your .233 rifle and need repeatable, minimal-runout case preparation, this heat-treated steel bushing fits into Redding 73-style sizing dies to control how much the neck compresses around your bullet. It's part of Redding's extensive bushing lineup—available in .001" increments across calibers from .185" to .368"—so you can dial in the exact fit your loads demand.

The bushing itself is precision-engineered for durability and smooth operation. Hand-polished sizing diameters and a hard surface (Rc 60–62) reduce the force needed to size cases, which means easier press leverage and less fatigue during long reloading sessions. That hardness also resists wear, so your bushing maintains its dimensions session after session and year after year.

This is a no-frills, purpose-built component for reloaders who already own a Redding 73-style die and want to fine-tune their neck sizing. It's not a complete die—just the bushing itself—so verify your die compatibility before ordering. If you're chasing sub-MOA accuracy or simply want more control over case neck runout than a standard full-length die allows, a properly sized bushing in your chosen diameter is a straightforward upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What die does this bushing work with?

This bushing is designed for Redding 73-style neck-sizing dies. Verify your die model before purchase to ensure compatibility.

Is this bushing alone enough to resize my cases?

No. This is the bushing component only. You'll need a compatible Redding 73-style die to use it. The bushing inserts into the die to control neck sizing.

What's the difference between .233" and other bushing sizes?

The .233" diameter is the inner sizing measurement. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments to match different calibers and case neck dimensions. Choose the size that fits your ammunition and accuracy needs.

Will this bushing work for my .223 Remington loads?

Bushing size is matched to the specific case neck diameter you want to achieve, not caliber designation alone. Verify the correct neck size for your loads and die setup before selecting your bushing.
