If you run a Redding bushing-style neck sizing die, the .262 Titanium Nitride bushing lets you fine-tune exactly how much grip the case neck has on your bullet. Instead of overworking your brass every time you size, you pick a bushing that only squeezes the neck down as far as you need. That means less work-hardening, longer case life, and more consistent seating from round to round.
This bushing starts as heat-treated steel, then gets a titanium nitride surface treatment. The TiN coating bumps up the effective surface hardness and slides over brass with less friction than bare steel, which translates to smoother sizing strokes and a cleaner finish inside the neck. The .262 marking refers to the inside diameter, and the bushing itself is clearly stamped so you always know which one you've got in hand.
It measures 1/2 inch outside diameter by 3/8 inch long, which is the standard Redding bushing footprint. That means it drops right into any Redding bushing-style neck sizing die, and it plays nice with most popular brands of bushing dies on the market too. Redding offers these in .001 inch increments across a huge range, so once you've figured out your ideal neck tension, you can repeat or adjust with real precision.
Getting the size dialed in is simple. Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge with a good micrometer, then subtract about .001 to .002 inch to account for brass spring-back and the tension you want on the bullet. If a loaded round lets the bullet push deeper under thumb pressure, step down to the next smaller bushing. For precision rifle loaders chasing tight groups and uniform brass, that level of control is exactly what makes bushing dies worth running.
The .262 is the inside diameter of the bushing in inches, which determines how far the case neck gets sized down. To find your ideal size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge and subtract roughly .001 to .002 inch for brass spring-back and bullet tension. The size is stamped right on the bushing so it's easy to identify on the bench.
It uses Redding's standard 1/2 inch outside diameter by 3/8 inch long dimensions, so it drops into any Redding bushing-style neck sizing die. It's also designed to work in most popular brands of bushing dies. The die and shellholder are sold separately.
The TiN coating increases the effective surface hardness of the bushing and reduces sizing friction compared to bare heat-treated steel. That gives you smoother sizing strokes and a slicker pass over the brass. Both the steel and TiN versions share the same dimensions and interchange freely.
After loading a few cases, check the neck's grip on the bullet. The bullet should hold firmly and not push deeper under thumb pressure. If it moves too easily, step down to the next smaller bushing and try again until you get the neck tension you're after.
