Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.233
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.233 is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand smooth, consistent ammunition production. This .233-inch bushing fits into Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies, allowing you to tailor neck tension to your specific rifle and load. The titanium nitride coating sets it apart from standard steel bushings: it increases surface hardness and cuts sizing friction, which means easier press operation and reduced wear on your equipment over countless reloading cycles.
Redding manufactures these bushings in .001-inch increments across the full range from .185 to .368 inches, so you can dial in the exact neck fit your cartridge and bullets demand. Whether you're fine-tuning a .223 Remington load for precision rifle work, developing handloads for hunting, or running a high-volume reloading operation, having the right bushing size eliminates guesswork and improves consistency shot to shot.
The titanium nitride surface treatment isn't just about durability—it directly affects reloading comfort and efficiency. Less friction means less felt resistance at the press handle, a meaningful difference if you're processing dozens or hundreds of cases in a session. The harder coating also resists galling and maintains its sizing properties longer, protecting your investment in quality reloading dies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bushing fit my Redding reloading die?
This bushing is designed for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. Confirm your die model accepts interchangeable bushings before purchasing.
What calibers use a .233-inch bushing?
The .233-inch size is suitable for neck sizing .233 cartridges and similar applications. Verify your specific cartridge and bullet combination to confirm the correct bushing diameter for your load.
Why does the titanium nitride coating matter?
The titanium nitride coating hardens the bushing surface and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This makes pressing easier, reduces wear on both the bushing and die, and helps maintain consistent sizing over extended use.
Can I use multiple bushings for different loads?
Yes. Redding manufactures bushings in .001-inch increments, allowing you to purchase different sizes and swap them into your die to fine-tune neck tension for different loads or bullets.
