Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.338

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .338 is a precision reloading die component engineered for shooters who demand consistency and durability in their handloading setup. This bushing handles the critical neck-sizing phase of bottleneck cartridge reloading, and the titanium nitride coating distinguishes it from standard steel alternatives by boosting surface hardness and cutting the friction that slows down your press cycles. If you're loading high-volume rifle ammunition or just want dies that'll outlast ordinary equipment, this is the kind of detail that compounds into real savings and repeatability downrange.

Redding's titanium nitride-coated bushings start with heat-treated steel and add a hard, slick surface that lets your brass move through the sizing operation smoothly while resisting wear. The .338 bore accommodates cartridges in that diameter range, fitting seamlessly into Redding's modular bushing system. Whether you're prepping ammunition for a .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Win Mag, or another .338-class cartridge, you're getting a component that handles the workload without galling or binding up.

Reloaders appreciate bushings because they let you fine-tune neck tension without replacing entire die sets—swap in a different size and you're dialed in. The titanium nitride finish isn't cosmetic; it genuinely extends bushing life under the repeated stress and friction of high-round-count reloading sessions. If precision rifle ammo is your game and you reload in volume, upgrading to a coated bushing pays for itself in reduced wear and smoother operation.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers can I use this .338 bushing with?

This bushing is sized for .338-diameter cartridges. It's compatible with .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Win Mag, .338 Norma Magnum, and other bottleneck cartridges in the .338 class. Confirm your specific cartridge's neck diameter against the .338 specification to ensure proper fit.

How does the titanium nitride coating improve reloading?

The titanium nitride finish hardens the bushing surface, reducing the friction between the bushing and brass during the neck-sizing stroke. This means smoother operation, less press effort, and longer bushing life before wear requires replacement.

Will this bushing work with my Redding die set?

This bushing is designed for Redding's bushing-style reloading die systems. Confirm that your Redding die accepts interchangeable bushings before ordering. If you use a different reloading press or die brand, verify compatibility.

What's included with this bushing?

You receive the bushing component itself. Installation is straightforward—it threads into your compatible Redding die. Refer to your die instructions for proper installation and adjustment procedures.
