Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.317
The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.317 is a precision neck-sizing component for reloaders who demand reduced friction and maximum die longevity. This .317" bushing fits Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies and features a Titanium Nitride coating applied over heat-treated steel, which boosts surface hardness far beyond standard bushings. If you're running high-volume reloading sessions or working with premium brass, the low-friction coating pays dividends in smoother operation and extended tool life.
Titanium Nitride coating serves a practical purpose: it cuts sizing friction without changing how your die performs. You'll notice easier case handling through the press and less wear on both the bushing and your brass. This is especially valuable if you reload match ammunition or fire large volumes where cumulative wear adds up fast.
Redding supplies these bushings in .001" increments across the full range from .185" to .368", so finding the right fit for your cartridge is straightforward. The .317" size covers common magnum rifle rounds and other medium-bore cartridges. Installation is simple—these bushings are a drop-in replacement for standard Redding bushing dies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges does the .317" bushing fit?
The .317" bushing is sized for cartridges in the magnum rifle range and other medium-bore rounds. Check your specific cartridge's neck diameter to confirm fit. Bushing selection is about exact neck sizing, so matching your cartridge's neck OD is critical for accurate rounds.
How does the Titanium Nitride coating improve reloading?
Titanium Nitride hardens the bushing surface and cuts friction as cases travel through the die. This makes pressing smoother, reduces wear on both the bushing and your brass, and is especially useful in high-volume reloading where tool wear compounds over time.
Will this bushing work with my Redding die?
This bushing is designed as a drop-in replacement for Redding bushing-style neck-sizing dies. If your die accepts interchangeable bushings, this .317" version will fit. Confirm your die model supports bushing interchangeability before ordering.
What's the advantage over standard Redding bushings?
Standard Redding bushings are quality components. The Titanium Nitride version adds a durable, low-friction surface coating that further reduces sizing resistance and extends the service life of the bushing, making it a worthwhile upgrade for serious reloaders.
