Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.265

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.265 is a neck-sizing bushing designed for handloaders who demand precision and durability. Built on a heat-treated steel base and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing reduces sizing friction during the reloading press cycle while maintaining the surface hardness needed for consistent cartridge neck sizing. If you're working with .265-inch diameter cases or neck diameters in that range, this is a direct upgrade over standard steel bushings—less wear on your equipment, smoother operation, and longer service life.

Redding's titanium nitride coating technology means your bushing resists galling and maintains its dimensional stability through hundreds of reloading cycles. This matters whether you're prepping brass for precision rifle matches, hunting loads, or high-volume practice sessions. The coating isn't just a surface treatment; it fundamentally changes how the bushing interacts with your case necks, reducing the force required to size while improving the finish of the sized brass.

At .265 inches, this bushing fits within Redding's standard bushing range, which spans .185 to .368 inches in .001-inch increments. It's a direct fit for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies, making it a straightforward swap if you're upgrading from conventional bushings or stocking spares for different calibers in your reloading bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cases does the .265 bushing work with?

The .265-inch sizing diameter is appropriate for cartridges with neck diameters in that range. Redding's bushing system covers .185 to .368 inches in .001-inch increments, so if you're unsure whether this size fits your specific caliber, verify your case neck dimension or consult a reloading manual for your cartridge.

How does titanium nitride coating improve reloading?

The titanium nitride coating hardens the bushing surface, reducing friction as your case neck passes through it. This lowers the force required at the press, decreases wear on both the bushing and your cases, and helps maintain consistent sizing dimensions over many reloading cycles.

Will this bushing fit my Redding die?

This bushing is designed for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. If your Redding die uses bushings, this .265-inch bushing will fit directly—no additional adapters or modifications needed.

How long does a titanium nitride bushing last?

The titanium nitride coating significantly extends bushing life compared to standard steel, but actual lifespan depends on your reloading volume, case condition, and maintenance. The coating resists galling and maintains hardness through hundreds of reloading cycles.
