Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.273

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.273 is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who demand consistency and durability. Unlike standard steel bushings, this bushing features a titanium nitride coating that significantly increases surface hardness while reducing the friction during the sizing stroke. The result is smoother operation, less wear on your press, and more predictable case dimensions shot after shot—essential when you're fine-tuning loads for accuracy.

If you're running a Redding sizing die with interchangeable bushings, the .273 size covers a specific range of neck diameters and is just one of dozens available in .001" increments. This level of granularity means you can dial in a bushing that sizes your brass to your exact specifications without over- or under-working the neck.

The titanium nitride treatment isn't just a gimmick—it's a practical upgrade that extends bushing life and keeps your handloading sessions smooth and efficient. Whether you're loading match-grade ammunition for the range or precision hunting rounds, a properly fitted bushing is the foundation of consistent neck tension and repeatable velocity.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What Redding dies use these interchangeable bushings?

Redding produces sizing dies designed specifically for interchangeable bushings. Check your die's documentation or Redding's product line to confirm compatibility with your press setup.

How do I know what bushing size I need?

Bushing selection depends on your fired case neck diameter and your desired finished neck tension. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments from .185" to .368" to let you fine-tune the fit. Start by measuring your brass and consulting Redding's sizing guidelines.

What's the advantage of titanium nitride over standard bushings?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness, reduces sizing friction, and helps the bushing resist wear over thousands of sizing cycles. This means smoother operation, less press effort, and longer bushing life compared to uncoated steel.

Can I use this bushing in any Redding die?

Only Redding sizing dies designed for interchangeable bushings will accept this component. Standard fixed-bushing dies are not compatible. Verify your die model before ordering.
