Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.245

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.245 is a precision reloading die component built for handloaders who demand consistent neck sizing and reduced friction shot after shot. This .245" bushing features a titanium nitride coating applied over heat-treated steel, which increases surface hardness and minimizes the resistance you'll feel when sizing brass—a real advantage if you're processing high volumes or working with premium brass you want to preserve. Whether you're developing loads for competitive rifle shooting or hunting ammo, a quality bushing that sizes cleanly and wears evenly is the foundation of repeatable, accurate ammunition.

Redding's bushing line spans .185" through .368" in .001" increments, so you can dial in the exact neck tension your rifle demands. The titanium nitride treatment isn't just about speed; it extends bushing life by resisting galling and adhesion—two culprits that degrade bore consistency and increase setup time. If you're already running a Redding neck-sizing die or collet die, swapping bushings lets you resize different cartridges without buying new dies, making it a smart investment for a diverse ammunition bench.

Installation is straightforward: the bushing drops into your Redding die body and locks in place. Because neck sizing directly affects bullet seating force and consistency, choosing the right bushing diameter for your specific brass and rifle is important. Many experienced loaders keep multiple bushings on hand to fine-tune tension across different brass lots or cartridges—a practical workflow this product makes affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does this .245" bushing work for?

The .245" bushing is used in neck-sizing applications for cartridges that require that specific bushing diameter. Consult Redding's bushing selection chart or contact Bosque Outdoors to confirm compatibility with your specific cartridge and rifle.

Will this bushing fit my Redding die?

This bushing is designed for use with Redding neck-sizing die bodies and Redding collet die systems. Verify that your die accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering.

How do I know which bushing size I need?

Bushing selection depends on your fired brass neck diameter, desired neck tension, and bullet diameter. Most loaders start with a bushing that's .003" to .005" smaller than their fired case neck diameter, then adjust from there. Many reloaders keep multiple bushings to fine-tune tension for different brass lots or shooting applications.

How long does the titanium nitride coating last?

Titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and extends bushing life compared to uncoated bushings, but actual lifespan depends on the volume and type of brass you're sizing. Worn bushings can be replaced affordably without replacing the entire die.
