Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.323

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .323" diameter is a precision reloading die component engineered for shooters who demand tight, consistent neck sizing. Built on a foundation of heat-treated steel and finished with a titanium nitride coating, this bushing delivers measurably lower sizing friction and increased surface hardness compared to standard steel alternatives. If you're running a neck-sizing die setup and want to reduce press effort while maintaining concentricity, this is the upgrade that pays for itself in reduced fatigue and longer die life.

Redding's bushing system gives you control that one-size-fits-all dies simply can't match. By selecting the exact bushing diameter for your brass, you're tailoring neck tension to your specific load, which translates to better velocity consistency and tighter groups downrange. The titanium nitride surface treatment isn't just a marketing angle—it reduces the adhesive wear that can pit standard steel bushings over thousands of rounds, keeping your sizing geometry reliable season after season.

At .323", this bushing fits cartridges in that bore diameter range. Redding manufactures bushings in .001" increments across their full lineup, so if you ever need to fine-tune neck tension or move to a different caliber, the ecosystem is there. Whether you're loading match ammunition or high-volume hunting rounds, a quality bushing is one of the few reloading investments that genuinely reduces wear on your equipment and improves ammunition quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers use a .323" neck sizing bushing?

The .323" diameter bushing is sized for cartridges with a .323" bullet diameter. Confirm your specific cartridge and load data before purchasing, as proper bushing selection depends on your exact brass and intended neck tension.

How does a titanium nitride coating improve bushing performance?

The titanium nitride finish increases the effective hardness of the steel surface and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means less wear on both the bushing and your press over time, and noticeably smoother operation compared to uncoated steel bushings.

Will this bushing work with my Redding neck-sizing die?

This bushing is designed for Redding neck-sizing die systems. Verify that your die is a bushing-style neck sizer before ordering. If you're unsure of your die type or compatibility, check your die documentation or contact Redding directly.

What's the difference between this and a standard steel bushing?

The primary differences are the titanium nitride coating, which provides greater surface hardness and lower friction, and the resulting reduction in wear and sizing effort. Standard steel bushings will perform the same basic function but will wear faster and require more press pressure over extended use.
