Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.306
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .306 size is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who demand smooth, consistent bushing performance shot after shot. This bushing fits into Redding's neck-sizing die systems and uses a titanium nitride coating applied to heat-treated steel, creating a significantly harder working surface than standard steel alone. The result is noticeably reduced sizing friction—your press stroke stays smooth, and your cases and equipment experience less wear over thousands of rounds.
Titanium nitride coating isn't just window dressing; it's a working upgrade. The coating increases surface hardness substantially, which translates to longer bushing life and more uniform neck sizing. Reloaders running high-volume precision loads—whether for long-range hunting or competitive shooting—appreciate the consistency and the reduction in pulling force that comes with a slicker bushing surface.
The .306 bushing is sized for cartridges in that diameter range and integrates into Redding's established bushing system. Redding manufactures these in .001" increments across their full range, so if you're working with other neck sizes, similar precision is available. Keep one in your reloading kit and you'll notice the difference every time you size a run of brass.

Frequently Asked Questions
What die system does this bushing work with?
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing die systems that accept interchangeable bushings. Verify your die model accepts bushing inserts before ordering.
Why would I choose a titanium nitride bushing over standard steel?
The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and significantly reduces sizing friction. This means your press stroke is smoother, your equipment experiences less stress, and the bushing lasts longer. It's a worthwhile investment if you're loading high volumes or want the smoothest possible neck-sizing experience.
What is the .306 size for?
The .306 bushing is sized for cartridge necks in that diameter range. Redding manufactures bushings in .001" increments throughout their range, so the exact size you need depends on your specific cartridge and your target neck diameter.
