Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.262
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.262 is a precision neck-sizing bushing engineered for handloaders who demand reduced friction and extended tool life. Built from heat-treated steel and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing increases effective surface hardness while minimizing sizing friction during the neck-sizing process. If you're running a progressive or single-stage press and working with cartridges that use a .262" bushing size, this upgrade delivers smoother operation and improved consistency across your reloading sessions.
Titanium nitride coating isn't just a durability upgrade—it's a practical improvement for the reloader. The harder surface means less wear on your dies over thousands of rounds, and reduced friction translates to easier press operation and potentially more uniform sizing. Redding offers these bushings in .001" increments across the full range of common neck sizes, so whether you're loading for a tight-tolerance precision rifle or a hunting round, there's a bushing matched to your needs.
This .262" bushing integrates with standard Redding neck-sizing die systems. If you're upgrading from standard steel bushings or setting up a new reloading die, the titanium nitride option adds durability and workflow efficiency without complicating your setup. It's the kind of incremental upgrade that experienced handloaders recognize as worth the investment over a full reloading season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges use a .262" bushing?
The .262" bushing size falls within Redding's standard range and is available as a precision sizing option. Consult your die documentation or contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific cartridge and die setup.
How does titanium nitride coating improve reloading?
Titanium nitride increases the bushing's surface hardness, reducing wear during repeated sizing cycles. This harder surface also decreases friction between the brass and bushing, making the press easier to operate and potentially improving sizing consistency.
Will this bushing work with my existing Redding die?
This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing die systems. Confirm your die model accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering; some setups use different sizing approaches.
What's the difference between standard and titanium nitride bushings?
Standard Redding bushings use heat-treated steel; titanium nitride bushings add a hard coating that increases durability and reduces friction. The titanium nitride option extends bushing life and improves reloading efficiency, especially over high-volume loading sessions.
