Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.309

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .309 is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who want to reduce friction and extend die life. This bushing fits Redding's full-length sizing die body and handles the critical task of controlling bullet seating depth and neck tension—two variables that directly affect consistency and accuracy at the range. The titanium nitride coating hardens the working surface beyond what standard steel offers, which means smoother sizing cycles and less wear over thousands of rounds.

Neck bushings come in .001" increments across a wide range, and choosing the right diameter is essential for your cartridge. A .309 bushing is sized for applications in that range; verify your specific cartridge's requirements before ordering. The coating isn't just a wear layer—it reduces the stiction between case neck and bushing, so you'll feel the difference when you're running brass through a progressive or single-stage press.

If you're serious about handloading ammunition for hunting, competition, or general shooting, a quality bushing die system gives you control over the variables that matter. Redding's titanium nitride treatment is a straightforward upgrade from bare steel, one that pays dividends across high-volume reloading seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges use a .309 bushing?

A .309 bushing is sized for cartridges in that neck diameter range. Verify your specific cartridge's specifications to confirm the correct bushing size before ordering. Redding publishes bushing selection guides for common rifle and pistol calibers.

How is the titanium nitride coating different from standard steel bushings?

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness beyond heat-treated steel alone and reduces friction during the sizing process. This means smoother operation, less wear over time, and reduced effort when cycling cases through the die.

Will this bushing work with my Redding die?

Bushings are designed for Redding sizing die bodies. Make sure your setup uses a Redding die with a bushing-style neck sizer, not a fixed-size die.

What's included with the bushing?

You receive the bushing itself. Installation into your Redding die body requires the die body and any other specified components for your reloading setup.
