The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.268 is a precision neck-sizing component designed for reloaders who demand consistency and low friction in their cartridge prep. Built on heat-treated steel and coated with a titanium nitride surface finish, this bushing reduces sizing friction while maintaining the hardness needed for thousands of rounds of dependable neck sizing. The .268" diameter makes it suitable for specific cartridge applications, and it's one piece in Redding's comprehensive range of bushings available in .001" increments across popular caliber sizes.
Titanium nitride coating on reloading bushings isn't just about surface appeal—it's about performance. The harder, slicker finish means less die wear, lower press pressure requirements, and more consistent case neck diameter from round to round. For handloaders running high-volume rifle ammunition or pursuing match-grade precision, that friction reduction translates to easier operation and longer component life.
If you're already running Redding neck-sizing dies, swapping bushings lets you quickly adjust for different cartridges or case lots without buying new dies. The .268" bushing fits into Redding's modular system, making it a practical addition to any serious reloading bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges use a .268" neck bushing?
The .268" bushing is sized for specific cartridges in that neck diameter range. Verify your cartridge specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Can I use this bushing with other reloading die brands?
This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing dies. Compatibility with other manufacturers' dies is not guaranteed; confirm your die model before purchase.
How does titanium nitride coating improve reloading?
The titanium nitride finish hardens the bushing surface and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means easier operation, less wear on both the bushing and your press, and more consistent neck dimensions over time.
Do I need to buy a whole new die to change cartridges?
No. Redding's bushing system lets you swap bushings between cartridges without replacing the die body, as long as your die is designed for interchangeable bushings.
