Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.304

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .304" is a precision reloading die component built for shooters who demand consistency and durability in their ammunition production. If you're running a neck-sizing press and want to reduce friction while extending bushing life, this coated alternative to standard steel bushings delivers measurable improvement where it matters—smoother operation and a harder, longer-wearing contact surface. Titanium Nitride coating boosts effective surface hardness, which means less drag on your brass and less wear on the bushing itself over thousands of cycles.

The .304" size falls within Redding's full range of neck-sizing bushings, manufactured in .001" increments to match a wide variety of cartridges. Whether you're loading .300 Norma Magnum, .308 Winchester, or another round in that bore diameter, a properly sized bushing is critical to consistent neck tension and reliable cartridge headspace. The Titanium Nitride coating is the upgrade choice for handloaders who want reduced sizing friction without changing the fit or function of their Redding bushing system.

This is a wearing component—bushings eventually show signs of use—but the harder, slicker surface of a Titanium Nitride coating extends service life and improves every press stroke. If you're already invested in a Redding neck-sizing die or press, swapping in a coated bushing is a straightforward, cost-effective way to upgrade your workflow and protect your brass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .304" neck-sizing bushing?

The .304" bushing is sized for cartridges with that bore diameter, including .300 Norma Magnum, .308 Winchester, and similar rounds. Check your specific cartridge's reloading manual to confirm the correct bushing size for your load.

How does Titanium Nitride coating improve neck-sizing?

Titanium Nitride increases the surface hardness of the bushing, which reduces friction during sizing and minimizes wear over extended use. This means smoother press operation and a longer service life from the bushing.

Will this bushing fit my Redding reloading die?

Yes, Redding neck-sizing bushings are direct replacements for compatible Redding dies and presses. Confirm that your die accepts interchangeable bushings and that .304" is the correct size for your cartridge before ordering.

What's the difference between standard steel and Titanium Nitride bushings?

Both are heat-treated steel, but the Titanium Nitride coating hardens the contact surface further and reduces sizing friction. Standard bushings work fine, but coated bushings last longer and operate more smoothly, especially if you reload high volumes.
