Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.241

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing in .241" diameter is a precision neck-sizing component designed for handloaders who demand tight, consistent case preparation. If you're building match-grade ammunition or simply want to minimize case runout shot to shot, a quality bushing die is where precision starts—and this Redding bushing delivers the hand-polished, heat-treated accuracy serious reloaders expect.

Redding's 73 style bushings are machined from steel and heat-treated to a surface hardness of Rc 60–62, which reduces sizing effort while maintaining the durability needed for thousands of reloads. The .241" bore is hand-polished to maintain tight tolerances and smooth operation, letting your press do the work without binding or chatter. This bushing works in any standard Redding 73 style neck-sizing die body, making it a straightforward drop-in upgrade or replacement if you've worn out your original bushing or need a different size for a new cartridge.

Redding stocks neck-sizing bushings in .001" increments across the full range from .185" through .368", so whether you're loading .223 Rem, 6mm Creedmoor, .308 Win, or something in between, you'll find the exact fit your cases need. Keep a spare on the shelf—bushings are the wear item in a sizing die, and having the right size ready means no downtime when it's time to reload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What die body does this bushing fit?

This is a Redding 73 style bushing, so it works in any standard Redding 73 style neck-sizing die body. Confirm your die model before ordering.

Why would I need a .241" bushing instead of a different size?

Bushing diameter is matched to your cartridge case neck. The .241" size is appropriate for specific cartridges; verify your case neck diameter to ensure proper fit. Redding stocks sizes in .001" increments from .185" to .368" to cover the full spectrum of rifle and handgun loads.

How long does a bushing last?

Bushings are the wear item in a sizing die and will eventually require replacement after many thousands of reloads. The hand-polished, heat-treated steel in Redding bushings is built to last, but keeping a spare on hand ensures you're never stalled mid-session.

Is this bushing compatible with other brands' dies?

This is designed for Redding 73 style die bodies. Check your die's specifications before ordering to confirm compatibility.
