Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.328

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing in .328" diameter is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand repeatable, consistent ammunition. Built from heat-treated steel with a hardness rating of Rc 60-62, this bushing delivers dependable performance through hundreds of reloading cycles. The hand-polished sizing surface reduces the effort required to size case necks, making it easier on your press while maintaining the tight tolerances that serious handloaders rely on.

Redding bushings are engineered for reloaders who prioritize accuracy and case longevity. By sizing only the neck rather than the entire case body, bushing-style dies allow you to extend case life and minimize work-hardening—especially valuable when you're building match ammunition or precision rifle loads. The .328" bushing works with Redding 73 style bushing-neck sizing dies and is available as part of a comprehensive range from .185" through .368" in .001" increments, so you can find or build a setup tailored to your cartridge.

Installation is straightforward: the bushing drops into your Redding 73 style die body and secures in place, ready for press mounting. Whether you're developing loads for hunting, target shooting, or competition, having the correct bushing size for your brass ensures uniform neck tension and shot-to-shot consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reloading dies are compatible with this .328" bushing?

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing works with Redding 73 style bushing-neck sizing dies. These dies are designed specifically to accept and use interchangeable bushings for custom neck-sizing setup.

Why would I choose bushing-neck sizing over full-length sizing?

Bushing-neck sizing (when available for your cartridge) sizes only the case neck rather than the entire case. This approach reduces case work-hardening, extends case life, and maintains consistent neck tension—all beneficial for accuracy and efficiency, especially in precision or match applications.

How do I know if .328" is the right bushing size for my brass?

Bushing size is determined by your case neck diameter and your desired neck tension. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments from .185" through .368", allowing you to match the exact sizing you need. Consult your die instructions or a reloading manual for the correct bushing size for your specific cartridge and brass.

Are these bushings available in other diameters?

Yes. Redding 73 style bushings span from .185" through .368" in .001" increments, giving you precise options across the full range of common cartridges.
