Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.316

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.316 is a premium neck sizing bushing for reloaders who want to reduce friction and extend die life during the critical sizing process. This .316" bushing is coated with titanium nitride, a hard ceramic finish that decreases drag on brass and case necks compared to uncoated steel. If you're running a Redding neck sizing die and need to replace or upgrade your bushing, this titanium nitride variant delivers measurable improvements in setup ease and repeatable results.

Redding produces these bushings in .001" increments across a full range of calibers—from .185" through .368"—so whether you're loading for a wildcat, a standard rifle round, or anything in between, there's a bushing sized to your exact neck diameter. The titanium nitride coating is applied to heat-treated steel, giving you a surface that resists wear from repeated sizing cycles. Over time, that matters: less friction means smoother operation, easier adjustment, and brass that sizes more consistently.

This is a straightforward wear item and a smart upgrade if you're already invested in Redding dies. Keep one on hand as a spare, or swap it in when you change calibers and need a fresh bushing for a different neck size. The bushing itself is the working part of your neck sizing operation—choosing the right coating and hardness isn't just nitpicking; it affects every round you load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a neck sizing bushing and why do I need one?

A neck sizing bushing is the wear-prone component inside a Redding neck sizing die that contacts your case neck and controls how much it's resized. Over time, the bushing wears or may become damaged. Replacing it keeps your die working smoothly and maintains consistent sizing.

Will this .316" bushing fit my Redding die?

Yes, this bushing is designed for Redding neck sizing dies. Confirm your current bushing size or your case's neck diameter to ensure .316" is correct for your application. Redding produces bushings in .001" increments, so sizing must be exact.

What's the advantage of the titanium nitride coating?

Titanium nitride is a hard ceramic coating applied to the steel. It reduces friction as your case neck slides through the bushing, meaning easier sizing, less resistance, and slower wear. This translates to longer bushing life and smoother reloading sessions.

Is this bushing a complete replacement for my old one?

Yes. Simply remove your old bushing from your Redding neck sizing die and install this one in its place. No other parts or modifications are required.
