Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.287

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .287" is a precision reloading die component engineered to reduce neck-sizing friction and boost durability for handloaders who demand consistency. Built on heat-treated steel and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing increases effective surface hardness beyond standard offerings—meaning smoother operation, longer life, and more uniform case neck sizing across your reloading sessions. If you're working with cartridges that require a .287" neck bushing, this is a serious upgrade from standard steel bushings.

Redding's titanium nitride treatment is particularly valuable for high-volume loaders and competitors who process hundreds of rounds per session. The coating reduces the friction that causes wear and inconsistency, so your bushing maintains its sizing dimension longer and requires less force to operate your press. That translates to less fatigue during long reloading days and more predictable round-to-round neck tension—critical for precision rifle work, whether you're handloading for match competition or developing loads for hunting.

The .287" size fits a specific range of cartridge neck diameters; confirm your application before ordering. Redding supplies titanium nitride bushings across their full .185" to .368" range in .001" increments, so whatever your caliber, a matched bushing is available. This bushing works with Redding neck-sizing die systems that accept interchangeable bushings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .287" neck bushing?

The .287" bushing is sized for cartridges with that specific neck diameter. Verify your cartridge's neck dimension before ordering to ensure compatibility with your reloading die system.

How is the titanium nitride bushing different from standard Redding bushings?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction compared to plain heat-treated steel bushings. This means longer bushing life, smoother sizing operation, and better consistency across many rounds.

What reloading press and die system do I need for this bushing?

This bushing is designed to work with Redding neck-sizing dies that accept interchangeable bushings. Confirm your die system is compatible before purchasing.

Is the .287" size available in other materials or coatings?

Redding supplies bushings in their standard range (.185" to .368" in .001" increments) with the titanium nitride treatment. Check with the manufacturer or retailer for all available finish options in your size.
