Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.271

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.271 is a precision neck-sizing component engineered for reloaders who demand consistent, friction-free operation on the press. This .271" bushing fits Redding's neck-sizing die systems and features a titanium nitride coating that hardens the steel substrate, reducing die wear and the force required to size rifle brass. If you're loading match ammunition, chasing tight concentricity, or simply tired of fighting sticky neck bushings, the titanium nitride surface treatment delivers measurable improvement in both durability and ease of use.

Redding's bushing design isolates sizing pressure to the neck only, leaving the shoulder and body untouched—critical for handloaders pursuing precision or those working with premium brass. The .271" size covers common cartridges in the .270-caliber family and similar neck diameters. The titanium nitride coating isn't just cosmetic; it genuinely reduces friction during sizing cycles, which means less operator effort and less thermal stress on the brass and die. Over a season of heavy reloading, that low-friction benefit compounds into real convenience and improved case life.

Redding manufactures these bushings in .001" increments across a full range from .185" to .368", so you can dial in the exact neck tension your setup and ammunition require. Whether you're setting up a dedicated precision rig or adding a backup bushing to your reloading bench, the titanium nitride treatment is a practical upgrade that pays dividends in consistency and press feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .271" bushing?

The .271" size is designed for .270-caliber cartridges and other rounds with equivalent neck diameters. Consult Redding's bushing selection chart or your ammunition specifications to confirm the right size for your load.

How does titanium nitride coating benefit my reloading?

Titanium nitride hardens the bushing surface and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means easier operation on the press, less wear on both the bushing and die, and longer-lasting performance—especially beneficial during high-volume reloading sessions.

Can I use this bushing with other neck-sizing die brands?

This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing die systems. Compatibility with other manufacturers' equipment is not confirmed; check your die manual or contact the die maker to verify fit.

What's the difference between standard and titanium nitride bushings?

Both are heat-treated steel, but the titanium nitride version includes a hard, low-friction coating. The coating reduces sizing resistance and extends the effective working life of the bushing, making it ideal for handloaders who reload frequently or demand smoother die operation.
