Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.269
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.269 is a precision neck-sizing bushing engineered for handloaders who demand smooth, consistent sizing cycles and long tool life. This bushing fits into Redding's interchangeable bushing system, allowing you to switch sizing diameters without swapping entire dies—a huge convenience for reloaders working multiple calibers or bullet weights. The .269" size accommodates a wide range of rifle and pistol cartridges, making it a core component for serious ammo builders.
What sets the Titanium Nitride version apart is the coating applied over heat-treated steel. That hard, slippery surface does two things: it dramatically increases resistance to wear, and it cuts the friction your brass experiences during sizing. Less friction means easier loading, less heat buildup in the die, and bushings that hold their sizing dimensions shot after shot for hundreds of rounds. If you're loading precision rifle ammo or simply tired of fighting sticky dies, the Titanium Nitride upgrade is a smart investment in your reloading bench.
Redding bushings are machined to exacting tolerances and are available in .001" size increments across the full range from .185" to .368", so you'll find the exact diameter you need for your application. Whether you're prepping match-grade ammunition, hunting loads, or high-volume target rounds, this bushing integrates seamlessly into your existing Redding reloading die setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What reloading dies does this bushing work with?
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.269 is designed for Redding interchangeable bushing reloading dies. It will not fit dies from other manufacturers that do not use Redding's bushing system.
How long will a Titanium Nitride bushing last?
The Titanium Nitride coating significantly extends bushing life compared to standard bushings by increasing surface hardness and reducing wear. Actual lifespan depends on your reloading volume and brass quality, but many reloaders report thousands of rounds per bushing.
Is the .269" size right for my cartridge?
The .269" bushing accommodates various rifle and pistol calibers. Consult your die manual or Redding's reloading data to confirm the correct bushing diameter for your specific cartridge and bullet combination.
What's the difference between standard and Titanium Nitride bushings?
Both are heat-treated steel, but the Titanium Nitride version has a hard, low-friction coating that reduces sizing friction, extends tool life, and provides smoother loading cycles. The tradeoff is cost—Titanium Nitride bushings are more expensive but deliver better longevity and performance.
