Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.311

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .311" diameter is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand smoother operation and extended die life. Built on a heat-treated steel foundation and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing reduces sizing friction while boosting surface hardness—a practical upgrade for high-volume shooters and hunters who process rifle brass repeatedly. If you're running a Redding neck-sizing die setup, the right bushing size is critical to consistent case preparation, and the .311" diameter fits a specific range of cartridges.

Titanium nitride's harder, more slippery surface means less resistance as cases move through the bushing, which translates to less operator fatigue and gentler handling of your brass. Over hundreds of reloading cycles, that durability advantage compounds—fewer bushing replacements and more predictable sizing results. The coating is bonded to the steel substrate, so it won't peel or flake during normal use.

Redding supplies these bushings in .001" size increments across the full spectrum from .185" through .368", so finding your exact bore diameter is straightforward. The .311" size falls in the mid-range of that lineup. Whether you're prepping match brass for the range, developing loads for a custom rifle, or running a high-volume hunting season, a properly matched titanium nitride bushing is a low-cost insurance policy against inconsistent neck tension and premature die wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges does the .311" bushing size fit?

The .311" bushing falls within Redding's mid-range sizing lineup. Consult your specific cartridge's published neck diameter or contact Redding to confirm the correct bushing size for your rounds.

How do I know which bushing size I need?

Redding supplies bushings in .001" increments from .185" through .368". Measure your case neck diameter or refer to your cartridge specifications to select the right fit. The part number ending (last three digits of #RD76XXX) denotes the exact bushing size.

What's the advantage of titanium nitride over standard steel bushings?

The titanium nitride coating hardens the surface and reduces friction, meaning less force required during sizing, less wear on the bushing, and longer overall life. That's especially valuable if you reload high volumes.

Can I use this bushing with any Redding neck-sizing die?

This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing die systems. Verify compatibility with your specific die setup before purchase.
