Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.226

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.226 is a precision neck-sizing bushing designed for handloaders who want reduced friction and extended die life in their reloading press. This .226" bushing comes coated with titanium nitride, a hard surface treatment that decreases sizing friction compared to standard steel bushings while maintaining the accuracy and concentricity that serious reloaders demand. If you're running a Redding bushing-style die and need a replacement or alternate bushing size, the titanium nitride finish makes this a durable choice for high-volume reloading or extended shooting seasons.

Titanium nitride coating serves a practical purpose in the reloading room: it reduces the drag as brass moves through the sizing process, which means less wear on your brass and less force required at the press. Over time, this translates to more consistent case dimensions and smoother operation. The .226" size fits cartridges in that caliber range and works with Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies.

Redding bushings are manufactured to tight tolerances and available in .001" increments across a wide range of sizes. The titanium nitride coating is applied to heat-treated steel, giving you a bushing that resists wear and maintains its sizing dimensions shot after shot. Whether you're loading for precision rifle, match ammunition, or just want better consistency in your handloads, this bushing integrates directly into your existing Redding die setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Redding dies work with this .226" bushing?

This bushing is designed for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. Check your die documentation or contact Redding directly to confirm compatibility with your specific die model.

Why choose titanium nitride coating over standard bushings?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during sizing, which means less wear on your brass and easier operation at the press. Over many reload cycles, this translates to longer bushing life and more consistent case dimensions.

Do I need to replace my entire die to use a different bushing size?

No. Redding bushing-style dies allow you to swap bushings without replacing the die body. Simply remove the old bushing and install the new one—bushings are available in .001" increments to match your exact needs.

Can I use this bushing with a progressive or single-stage press?

Yes, Redding bushings work with any press that accepts Redding bushing-style dies, whether single-stage, turret, or progressive.
