Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.255

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.255 is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand consistency and control over case prep. This .255" bushing fits Redding's 73 style sizing dies and gives you the ability to fine-tune neck diameter to match your specific brass and bullet combination — a critical step if you're working with tight-fitting ammunition or pursuing accuracy at distance. Heat-treated steel construction with a polished sizing surface means less effort at the press and more uniform sizing from round to round.

Neck bushings aren't one-size-fits-all, and that's the point. By selecting the exact bushing diameter your ammunition needs, you avoid oversizing brass unnecessarily, which extends case life and maintains the headspace control that accurate reloading demands. The hand-polished bore and Rc 60-62 surface hardness keep sizing forces manageable while maintaining precision — especially valuable when you're processing large batches or loading at the range.

Redding offers bushings in .001" increments across a wide range of diameters, so whether you're loading .22-caliber rounds or larger magnum cases, there's a bushing built for your needs. This .255" size fits common applications, and if your reloading demands a different diameter, Redding's catalog spans from .185" through .368". Integrating the right bushing into your sizing die is straightforward and makes a real difference in ammunition consistency.
