Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.291

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.291 is a precision neck-sizing die component engineered for handloaders who demand smooth, consistent case preparation. This .291" bushing is part of Redding's lineup of titanium nitride-coated sizing bushings, designed to work with Redding's bushing die systems for repeatable, minimal-sizing control. The titanium nitride coating reduces friction during the sizing stroke, making full-length reloading sessions faster and easier on your press while preserving case longevity.

Neck-sizing bushings are the backbone of precision handloading. By sizing only the neck of your case rather than the entire body, you maintain better case-to-chamber fit and reduce unnecessary work-hardening of the brass. The .291" diameter is suited for specific calibers within Redding's supported range, allowing you to match your exact case and cartridge requirements. The titanium nitride surface treatment adds real durability—it resists galling and wear better than uncoated steel, which matters when you're processing hundreds of cases per loading session.

Redding's bushing approach gives you flexibility: if your requirements change or you reload multiple calibers, you can swap bushings rather than buying entirely new dies. That modularity, combined with the hard coating on this .291" bushing, makes it a solid investment for serious handloaders who want to dial in their neck-sizing precisely without the friction and wear of inferior tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does the .291" bushing fit?

The .291" bushing is designed for specific cartridges within Redding's supported range. Consult Redding's bushing sizing chart or your load data to confirm compatibility with your caliber. Redding offers bushings in .001" increments from .185" through .368", so there's a size for virtually any common rifle round.

Can I use this bushing with other reloading die brands?

This bushing is engineered for Redding bushing die systems. Compatibility with other manufacturers' equipment is not guaranteed. Always verify that your die system accepts Redding-style bushings before purchasing.

Does the titanium nitride coating wear off?

The titanium nitride coating is applied through a heat-treatment process and is integral to the steel surface. It resists wear significantly better than uncoated steel, though all tools eventually show wear with heavy use. The coating is designed to extend the life of the bushing and reduce friction during thousands of reloading cycles.

What's included in this purchase?

You receive the single .291" titanium nitride-coated bushing. It is a standalone component; you will need a compatible Redding bushing die to use it.
