Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.288
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.288 is a precision neck-sizing tool built for reloaders who demand consistency and reduced friction in their reloading die setup. This .288-inch bushing fits Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies and features a titanium nitride coating applied to heat-treated steel, creating a harder, more durable surface that minimizes sizing friction and extends tool life. If you're working up loads for .288-caliber rifles or fine-tuning neck tension for match-grade ammunition, this bushing delivers the precise, repeatable sizing that serious handloaders expect.
Titanium nitride coating does more than just look slick—it meaningfully reduces the force required to size brass and helps prevent galling and scoring on case necks. For high-volume reloaders or those running progressive presses, that friction reduction translates to smoother operation and less wear on your equipment. The bushing is sized to .288 inch, so verify your caliber and neck diameter before ordering; Redding produces these throughout the full range from .185 to .368 inch in .001-inch increments.
This is a consumable component, not a complete die, and it's designed to work with Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. If you already own the die body, this bushing swaps in as a direct replacement or lets you experiment with different neck-tension settings by switching bushings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What die does this bushing fit?
This bushing is designed for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. Verify that your Redding die uses interchangeable bushings before ordering.
Is this bushing suitable for .288 Remington?
The bushing is sized to .288 inch, which is the standard neck diameter for .288 Remington. Confirm your specific caliber and neck diameter to ensure proper fit.
What's included?
You receive the titanium nitride-coated bushing only. A complete neck-sizing die body is sold separately.
How does titanium nitride coating help during reloading?
The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness, reduces friction during the sizing stroke, and helps prevent case neck galling and scoring. This means easier operation and greater durability of both the bushing and your brass.
