Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.362

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.362 is a precision neck-sizing tool for reloaders who want tight, consistent case concentricity without full-length sizing. If you're developing handloads for bolt-action rifle cartridges or fine-tuning concentricity on previously fired brass, this bushing gives you direct control over neck diameter—essential for accuracy-focused shooters who understand that case prep separates good groups from great ones.

Redding's 73-style bushings are engineered for durability and ease of use. The sizing diameter is hand-polished to a surface hardness of Rc 60–62, which reduces the force needed to push cases through and extends bushing life. Steel construction means these bushings handle the repeated use that serious reloaders demand, and the polished bore minimizes friction so you're not fighting your press on every stroke.

This .362" bushing fits the Redding Type-S bushing neck-sizing die and other compatible 73-style die systems. Redding manufactures bushings in .001" increments across a full range of diameters, so you can dial in the exact neck clearance your ammunition needs. Whether you're loading match-grade rifle rounds or hunting loads where concentricity matters, having the right bushing size is the foundation of consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What press and die system does this bushing work with?

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing is designed for Redding Type-S bushing neck-sizing dies and compatible 73-style die systems. Check your die documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Why choose bushing neck sizing over full-length sizing?

Bushing neck sizing sizes only the case neck, leaving the body and shoulder untouched. This is ideal for reloading once-fired brass and helps maintain tight concentricity, which many precision and hunting reloaders prefer for accuracy.

How do I know if .362" is the right bushing size for my cartridge?

The correct bushing size depends on your cartridge and desired neck clearance. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments from .185" through .368", so you can select the size that gives you the fit you want. Consult loading data or your die manual for guidance on bushing selection.

Will this bushing wear out?

The hand-polished, hardened steel construction is designed for durability through repeated reloading cycles. Proper die maintenance and occasional cleaning will extend bushing life.
