Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.286

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.286 is a precision neck-sizing component for handloaders who demand smooth, consistent operation and long tool life. This bushing fits Redding's modular neck-sizing systems and uses a titanium nitride surface coating over heat-treated steel to reduce friction during the sizing stroke and enhance durability compared to uncoated bushings. The .286 size accommodates cartridges with that neck diameter, making it a core upgrade for reloaders working with medium-bore rifle rounds.

Titanium nitride coating is the difference-maker here. It lowers the force required to resize cases, which translates to less wear on your press, smoother feeding through the bushing, and ultimately longer intervals between tool maintenance or replacement. For high-volume reloaders or anyone setting up a precision rifle load, that friction reduction compounds over hundreds or thousands of rounds. The heat-treated steel foundation ensures the bushing resists deformation under press pressure, holding its sizing diameter true shot after shot.

Redding bushings are available across a wide range of sizes in .001" increments, so if you're working with multiple cartridges or need to replace a worn bushing, you'll find the exact diameter your load requires. The titanium nitride finish is worth the step up from standard bushings if you plan to reload regularly—the investment pays back in reduced friction, longer life, and peace of mind that your sizing is consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .286 neck bushing?

The .286 bushing accommodates cartridges with a .286-inch neck diameter. Consult your specific cartridge's neck specifications or your reloading manual to confirm the correct bushing size for your rounds.

How does titanium nitride coating improve reloading?

Titanium nitride reduces friction between the case neck and the bushing during sizing, lowering the force needed to resize and reducing wear on both the bushing and your press over time.

Will this bushing work with my Redding press?

This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing systems. Verify your specific die setup is compatible with modular Redding neck bushings before purchase.

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

Titanium nitride-coated bushings offer lower friction, increased surface hardness, and extended tool life compared to uncoated heat-treated steel bushings, making them ideal for high-volume reloaders.
