Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.224

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.224 is a precision neck-sizing bushing designed for reloaders who demand repeatable, friction-free cartridge preparation. This bushing fits Redding's full-length and neck-sizing die systems, making it an ideal upgrade for handloaders working with .224-caliber cartridges like .223 Remington, .224 Valkyrie, and other variants in that bore range. The titanium nitride coating significantly reduces sizing friction and resists wear better than standard steel, extending the life of your die setup and keeping your brass consistent through hundreds of reloads.

Redding's bushing system gives you fine control over neck tension by letting you select the exact bushing size that matches your brass and bullet diameter. The titanium nitride surface treatment—harder and more durable than heat-treated steel alone—means less effort at the press, lower temperatures during sizing, and minimal impact on case hardness. Whether you're loading precision rifle ammo for hunting or the range, this bushing helps you maintain tight tolerances without the wear that shortens die life.

The .224 bushing is part of Redding's complete lineup of neck-sizing bushings, available in .001" increments across the full range of rifle and handgun cartridges. If you're already running a Redding die set, adding a titanium nitride bushing is a straightforward way to improve sizing consistency and reduce press friction. Reloaders who prioritize efficiency and longevity will appreciate the coating's real-world benefits over standard bushing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .224 bushing?

The .224 bushing is designed for .224-caliber cartridges, including .223 Remington, .224 Valkyrie, and other loads that use .224-inch bullets.

Will this bushing work with my Redding die?

Yes, this bushing is compatible with Redding neck-sizing and full-length sizing die systems. Verify your die accepts Redding bushings before ordering.

What's the advantage of the titanium nitride coating?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means less wear on the bushing and die, lower heat generation, and easier operation at the press over many reloading cycles.

How do I know which bushing size I need?

Redding bushings are available in .001" increments. Most reloaders select a bushing that provides light tension on their sized brass—typically 0.001" to 0.002" smaller than loaded round diameter. Consult Redding's sizing guidelines or your die instructions for your specific cartridge and bullet combination.
