Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.324

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing in .324" diameter is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand consistent, repeatable cartridge prep. If you're running a Redding Type S bushing die system, this hardened steel bushing replaces the standard sizing ring to fine-tune neck fit for your specific rifle and ammunition. The .324" size works across Redding's modular bushing lineup, letting you dial in the exact amount of neck tension your loads need without full-length sizing.

Redding's 73 Style bushings are hand-polished and heat-treated to Rc 60–62 hardness, which reduces the physical effort required during sizing and extends bushing life through countless reloading cycles. The polished surface finish minimizes brass marking and wear, so you spend less time cleaning cases and more time at the bench or range. Because bushings are manufactured in .001" increments across their full range, you can step up or down by a single thousandth if your current setup is sizing too much or too little neck diameter.

This is a standalone bushing component—you'll need a compatible Redding Type S die body to use it. If you're already invested in the Redding modular die system or are building a dedicated reloading setup for precision centerfire rifle rounds, swapping bushings is faster and cheaper than buying new dies every time you change calibers or want to tweak neck tension.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies are these bushings compatible with?

These are 73 Style bushings designed for Redding Type S bushing die systems. Confirm your die model before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Why would I use a .324" bushing instead of full-length sizing?

Bushing neck sizing contacts only the neck of the case, preserving case body dimensions and improving brass longevity. This also fine-tunes neck tension, which can improve accuracy in precision rifle loads. A .324" bushing is sized for specific cartridges or loads in that range; selecting the right bushing diameter ensures the neck isn't over-sized or under-sized.

Can I use different bushing sizes with the same die?

Yes. The modular design lets you swap bushings in and out of a single Type S die body, so you can have multiple bushings on hand for different loads or calibers without buying multiple dies.

What's included in the package?

You receive one .324" bushing. You'll need a compatible Redding Type S die body to use it in your reloading press.
