Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.364

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.364 is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who demand consistent, reliable ammunition. This heat-treated steel bushing is engineered to work with Redding's 73 style reloading dies, giving you precise control over case neck dimensions during the resizing process. The .364" diameter makes it ideal for a range of magnum and large-bore cartridges where exact neck control directly impacts accuracy and case longevity.

Redding's 73 style bushings are hand-polished to a surface hardness of Rc 60–62, which reduces the effort required during the sizing stroke while maintaining the precision fit your reloading demands. This hardness spec isn't just a number—it translates to smoother operation at the press and less wear on your dies and equipment over thousands of rounds. Whether you're developing loads for long-range hunting, precision rifle competition, or simply maintaining tight tolerances across your reloads, this bushing delivers the consistency that separates good ammunition from excellent ammunition.

Redding manufactures bushings in .001" increments across the full range from .185" to .368" in diameter, so you can fine-tune neck tension to match your specific cartridge and bullet requirements. The .364" size is part of that complete lineup, available individually so you can build the exact neck-sizing setup your reloading process needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies are these bushings compatible with?

The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing is designed for use with Redding's 73 style reloading dies. If you're unsure whether your setup uses 73 style dies, confirm your die model before ordering.

What cartridges does the .364" bushing fit?

The .364" diameter is sized for larger magnum and big-bore cartridges where case necks fall in that range. Verify your specific cartridge's neck diameter to confirm this bushing is the right choice for your reloading.

Why does bushing hardness matter?

The Rc 60–62 hardness specification reduces the force needed at the press and extends the working life of both the bushing and your dies. Hand-polished sizing surfaces also contribute to smoother, more efficient resizing strokes, which matters when you're processing hundreds or thousands of rounds.

Can I use a different size bushing with this die set?

Yes—Redding offers 73 style bushings in .001" increments from .185" to .368", so you can select the exact neck diameter that matches your cartridge and desired neck tension.
