Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.258
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.258 is a precision reloading die component engineered to give your neck-sizing operation a durability and friction advantage. Unlike standard steel bushings, this .258-inch bushing features a titanium nitride coating that hardens the working surface and reduces the resistance you'll feel when sizing cases. If you're running a Redding bushing die system and want to extend component life while improving the smoothness of your reloading stroke, this upgrade is worth the investment.
Redding's bushing-die platform lets you fine-tune neck tension by swapping bushings to match your brass and bullet combination. The titanium nitride coating isn't just cosmetic—it meaningfully cuts down on sizing friction, which means less wear on both the bushing and your press linkage over thousands of rounds. For reloaders who process volume or demand consistency, that durability translates to better long-term value and fewer interruptions to your workflow.
This .258-inch bushing fits Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies and is one of a comprehensive range Redding produces in .001-inch increments across caliber families. Whether you're working with standard cartridges in that bore range or wildcats, Redding's sizing bushing system gives you the precision control serious handloaders expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Redding dies does this bushing fit?
This .258-inch bushing is designed for Redding's bushing-die neck-sizing system. Verify your die model accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering.
How does the titanium nitride coating benefit my reloading?
The titanium nitride coating hardens the working surface of the bushing, reducing the friction encountered during case sizing. This means smoother operation, less wear on the bushing and your press, and longer component life—especially valuable if you reload high volumes.
Can I use different bushing sizes to adjust neck tension?
Yes. Redding's bushing system allows you to swap bushings in .001-inch increments to fine-tune neck tension for your specific brass and bullet combination. This .258-inch bushing is one option in that range.
What calibers does a .258-inch bushing work for?
The .258-inch bushing accommodates cartridges in that neck diameter range. Consult Redding's bushing sizing chart or your die instructions to confirm compatibility with your specific caliber.
