Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.282
The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.282 is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who want tight control over case neck dimensions. This .282-inch bushing is part of Redding's extensive lineup of heat-treated steel bushings, engineered to deliver consistent, repeatable results when used with 73-style reloading dies. If you're developing match-grade rifle ammunition or simply prefer the precision and efficiency of bushing-style neck sizing, this is the tool that lets you dial in exactly the neck diameter your cartridge requires.
Redding manufactures these bushings from heat-treated steel, then hand-polishes each sizing diameter to a surface hardness of Rc 60–62. That hardness and polish work together to reduce sizing effort and promote smooth, even case neck control shot after shot. The .282-inch size fits cartridges in that diameter range, with the entire Redding bushing catalog available in .001-inch increments from .185 inches through .368 inches, so you can find the exact fit your reloading setup demands.
This is a no-frills, high-function component—not a complete die set, but the bushing alone. It integrates with 73-style dies to give you precision at the neck without the complexity or cost of a full custom setup. Whether you're prepping brass for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, or just want the consistency that proper neck sizing delivers, a correctly-sized bushing is a small investment that pays dividends in ammunition quality and repeatability.
