Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.263
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .263" size is a precision reloading die component engineered for shooters who demand reliable, consistent neck sizing. This hardened steel bushing features a titanium nitride coating that reduces friction during the sizing process and increases effective surface hardness—key advantages when you're processing high volumes of brass or working with tough, work-hardened cases. Whether you're a competitive reloader, precision rifle builder, or handloader who runs tight consistency specs, this bushing pairs with Redding's bushing-style neck sizing dies to give you repeatable results.
Titanium nitride coating isn't just marketing—it's a measurable upgrade over plain hardened steel. The reduced friction means smoother case feeding through your press, less wear on your brass, and easier operation, especially over long reloading sessions. The .263" size covers common rifle calibers in that bore diameter range, making it a workhorse bushing for popular cartridges.
Redding's bushing system is built around interchangeability and precision. If your loads demand exacting neck tension or if you reload multiple similar calibers, you can swap bushings to fine-tune sizing without buying a whole new die set. These bushings are manufactured in .001" increments across the full range, so you can dial in exactly the diameter your reloading process requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers work with a .263" neck sizing bushing?
The .263" bushing size covers rifle cartridges with neck diameters in that range. Refer to your specific caliber's reloading manual and your die manufacturer's bushing sizing chart to confirm the correct bushing diameter for your cartridge.
Is this bushing compatible with all Redding neck sizing dies?
This bushing is designed for Redding bushing-style neck sizing dies. Confirm your die accepts interchangeable bushings before purchasing. Redding makes both bushing and non-bushing neck sizing dies.
What's the advantage of titanium nitride coating over plain steel bushings?
The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means smoother operation, less wear on your brass over repeated loadings, and easier case feeding through your press—especially valuable if you process large volumes or work-hardened brass.
