Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.272
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.272 is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who demand consistency and reduced friction in their ammunition production. This .272" bushing is coated with titanium nitride—a hard ceramic surface treatment that increases effective hardness beyond standard heat-treated steel while measurably lowering sizing friction. If you're running high-volume loads or working with tight chamber tolerances, the friction reduction translates to easier operation and less wear on your sizing die over time.
Redding offers these bushings across a full range of caliber sizes, moving in .001" increments from .185" to .368". That precision sizing means you'll find the exact bushing for your cartridge, whether you're loading .222 Remington, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, or something in between. The .272" size covers multiple cartridge families, making it a versatile addition to a serious reloader's die setup.
The titanium nitride coating isn't just about durability—it's about feel. Less drag during the sizing stroke means more control and faster cycling, especially if you're pushing volume. The hard surface also resists galling and buildup, keeping your neck sizing clean and consistent run after run.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the .272" bushing work with?
The .272" bushing is designed to fit cartridges with a .272" neck diameter. It's part of Redding's range of bushings offered in .001" increments from .185" to .368", so exact fitment depends on your specific caliber. Consult your cartridge specifications or Redding's sizing chart to confirm compatibility with your load.
How does titanium nitride coating improve sizing?
The titanium nitride coating increases the effective surface hardness of the bushing beyond standard heat-treated steel, and it significantly reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means easier operation, less resistance when sizing cases, and reduced wear on both the bushing and your die over extended reloading sessions.
Which Redding reloading dies are compatible with this bushing?
Redding neck-sizing bushings are designed to work with Redding reloading dies that use the bushing system. Confirm your die model accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering.
Is this bushing better than standard steel bushings?
The titanium nitride coating offers improved hardness and measurably lower friction compared to standard heat-treated steel bushings. If you're looking for easier sizing and longer service life, the titanium nitride treatment is a meaningful upgrade, particularly in high-volume reloading.
