Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.302
The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.302 is a precision neck-sizing bushing engineered for reloaders who demand consistency and minimal effort at the press. This .302-inch bushing is part of Redding's extensive lineup of interchangeable bushings, designed to work with their 73-style bushing neck-sizing dies. Whether you're loading match ammunition, hunting rounds, or working up loads for a precision rifle, a dedicated bushing sized to your specific cartridge neck diameter ensures repeatable sizing without excess pressure or inconsistent results.
Heat-treated steel construction with hand-polished sizing surfaces gives this bushing a surface hardness of Rc 60-62, which means smoother operation and reduced effort each time you size a case. That polish isn't just about feel—it translates to longer bushing life and more uniform neck diameters across your ammunition. The .302 size sits in the middle of Redding's range, making it suitable for common cartridges with similar neck dimensions. If you're already running a 73-style die body, swapping bushings is faster and more cost-effective than buying new dies every time you load a different round.
Redding bushings are manufactured in standard .001-inch increments across their full range, so you can fine-tune your neck fit with precision. This matters: tight, consistent neck fit means better bullet seating and improved downrange accuracy. Stock this .302 bushing alongside other sizes to cover your stable of rifles, or order it as a replacement if your current bushing has worn from heavy use.
