Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.283

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .283" is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand smooth, consistent case-forming performance. Built on a heat-treated steel foundation and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing reduces friction during the sizing stroke while boosting effective surface hardness—a practical upgrade for high-volume handloaders and shooters who process brass regularly. If you're running a progressive or single-stage press and want your neck-sizing operation to run easier and last longer, this is the kind of small investment that pays dividends over thousands of rounds.

The .283" diameter makes this bushing suitable for cartridges in that neck dimension. Redding manufactures these bushings in .001" increments across their full range, so you get a precise fit for your specific brass. The titanium nitride surface treatment isn't just a durability flex—it genuinely cuts down on sizing friction, which means less press effort, cooler-running dies, and reduced wear on your equipment over time.

Whether you're a precision rifle reloader fine-tuning match ammo or a hunter who processes his own brass to keep costs down, a quality bushing is one of those components that makes the reloading bench more enjoyable. Pair this with your full Redding neck-sizing die set and you've got a reliable, low-maintenance system that performs shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .283" neck bushing?

The .283" diameter is the neck dimension for certain cartridges in that range. Verify your cartridge's neck diameter against the bushing size to ensure proper fit. Redding supplies bushings in .001" increments, so you can select the exact size your brass requires.

How does titanium nitride coating help when reloading?

The titanium nitride coating hardens the bushing's surface and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means your press handles easier, the sizing operation runs cooler, and the bushing resists wear better over high-volume reloading sessions. It's a practical upgrade if you process brass frequently.

Do I need special equipment to use this bushing?

This bushing works with any standard Redding neck-sizing die body and reloading press compatible with that die. It's a direct, straightforward component—no special tools or adaptation required.

Will this bushing work with my existing Redding dies?

Yes, Redding bushings are designed as interchangeable components in their neck-sizing die systems. If you have a Redding neck-sizing die set, you can swap in this bushing. Verify the bushing diameter matches your brass neck size before sizing.
