Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.235
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.235 is a precision neck-sizing bushing designed for reloaders who want reduced friction and extended die life in their reloading press. This .235-inch bushing is coated with titanium nitride, a surface treatment that boosts effective hardness beyond standard heat-treated steel, making it ideal for high-volume reloaders and those working with tight tolerances. Whether you're prepping rifle brass for competition, hunting, or precision rifle loads, a hardened bushing minimizes sizing friction and wear on both the bushing and your brass.
Neck-sizing bushings let you customize brass fit to your chamber without the wear of full-length sizing. The titanium nitride coating is the key advantage here—it reduces the friction that builds up during repeated sizing cycles, which means easier press operation, longer bushing life, and more consistent sizing stroke to stroke. For reloaders running high-round-count loads or pushing premium brass through dozens of reload cycles, that durability pays off.
Redding bushings are manufactured in .001-inch increments across the full range, so the .235 size fits squarely in the common rifle cartridge range. If you're already running Redding dies, this bushing drops right into your existing setup—no additional tooling needed. It's a straightforward upgrade that makes a noticeable difference in press feel and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this bushing and standard steel bushings?
The titanium nitride coating hardens the surface beyond standard heat-treated steel, reducing friction during sizing and extending the life of both the bushing and your brass. You'll notice easier press operation and more consistent sizing performance over many reload cycles.
Will this bushing work with my Redding dies?
Yes, this bushing is designed for Redding reloading dies that feature a bushing-style neck-sizing system. It drops into your existing die setup without additional tooling.
What calibers does a .235 bushing fit?
The .235-inch bushing is part of Redding's incremental sizing range and suits rifle cartridges in that neck diameter range. Verify your specific cartridge's neck diameter against the .235 specification before ordering.
