Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.285

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.285 is a precision neck-sizing bushing engineered for handloaders who demand smooth, consistent case sizing with minimal friction. This .285" bushing fits Redding's bushing-style neck sizers and delivers the hardness and durability needed for high-volume reloading without the wear that softens performance over time. The titanium nitride coating—applied to heat-treated steel—creates a low-friction surface that reduces sizing force while protecting the bushing against the repeated stress of hundreds or thousands of rounds.

Neck-bushing dies are the standard for precision rifle reloaders because they size only the neck, leaving the shoulder and body untouched. This approach preserves case life and enables tighter chamber fits, especially valuable for long-range hunting and competitive shooting. The titanium nitride coating extends bushing life and makes the press easier to cycle, which matters when you're working up loads or prepping cases in volume.

Redding bushings are available in .001" increments across the full range from .185" to .368", so you can dial in the exact neck diameter your rifle demands. The .285" size covers common cartridges in that neck range. If you're already running a Redding bushing-style neck sizer, swapping to a titanium nitride bushing is a straightforward upgrade that pays dividends in ease of use and tool longevity.

Key Features

• Titanium nitride coating for reduced friction and extended bushing life

Frequently Asked Questions

What Redding dies does this bushing fit?

This bushing is designed for Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies. Confirm your die accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering.

What cartridges use a .285" neck bushing?

The .285" bushing is appropriate for cartridges with neck diameters in that range. Consult your specific cartridge specs and your reloading manual to confirm the correct bushing size for your rounds.

How does titanium nitride coating improve performance?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness, reduces friction during sizing, and helps the bushing resist wear from repeated use. This means easier press strokes and longer bushing life.

Are Redding bushings available in other sizes?

Yes. Redding produces bushings in .001" increments from .185" to .368", allowing you to match your specific cartridge neck diameter.
