Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.289

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.289 is a precision neck-sizing bushing built for reloaders who demand consistency and control in their ammunition prep. If you're running a Redding 73 press system and need to fine-tune neck tension for your .289 cartridge, this bushing delivers the fit you're looking for. Hand-polished sizing diameter and heat-treated steel construction make it a workhorse component for handloaders focused on accurate, repeatable rounds.

Redding bushings are engineered to reduce sizing effort while maintaining the hardness necessary for long service life. The .289 bore is one of dozens available in .001" increments across Redding's full bushing lineup, so whether you're loading for a common cartridge or a wildcat, there's a size to match your specs. The surface hardness (Rc 60-62) keeps the bore from deforming under repeated use, which means your neck tension stays predictable from round to round.

This is a straightforward, no-frills reloading component—no gimmicks, just proven design. It slides into your Redding 73 die system and does the job. If you're already running Redding equipment or looking to upgrade to their bushing system, the .289 bushing covers most standard and magnum cases in that caliber range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What press system does this bushing work with?

The Redding 73 Style bushing is designed for use in Redding 73 press systems. It is not compatible with other press brands or older Redding die designs.

How many Redding bushings do I need for a complete reloading setup?

Typically, one bushing per cartridge size you're loading is standard. If you reload multiple calibers, you'll want a dedicated bushing for each one to avoid swapping and potential sizing inconsistency.

Is the .289 bushing available in other sizes?

Yes. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments from .185" through .368". The .289 is just one option in that full range. The part number format (RD73XXX) uses the last three digits to denote the exact size.

Will a .289 bushing work for .28 Nosler or similar larger .28-caliber cases?

We don't have specific load data or compatibility information for particular cartridges. Consult your reloading manual or Redding's specification sheets to confirm the correct bushing size for your specific case.
