Neck tension is one of those little variables that makes a big difference on paper, and the Redding .268 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing is how you take control of it. This is Redding part number 76268, machined from heat-treated steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that bumps up surface hardness and cuts down on sizing friction. The result is smoother operation and tighter, more repeatable neck sizing without overworking your brass.
The whole idea behind bushing-style sizing is that you only squeeze the neck down as much as you need to. By picking the right bushing diameter, you set the exact amount of neck tension required to hold the bullet securely without excessive resizing, which keeps your brass living longer and your velocities more consistent. The .268 size covers a specific slice of the lineup, which Redding builds from .185 inch all the way up to .368 in .001 inch steps so you can fine-tune to your loaded round.
These bushings drop straight into all Redding bushing-style sizing dies, including the Type S neck and full-length dies, and they interchange with L.E. Wilson style bushings too. External dimensions run 1/2 inch outside diameter by 3/8 inch long, so if your die takes the standard Redding bushing, this one slots right in.
To find your correct bushing size, 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. If your neck wall thickness varies more than a couple thousandths, you may want to go a touch smaller and let an expander button set the final inside diameter. With the necks lubed, the TiN finish glides through cleanly and tends to leave the brass looking unmarked, which is exactly what you want when you're building ammo that shoots.
It fits all Redding bushing-style sizing dies, including the Type S neck and full-length sizing dies. It also interchanges with L.E. Wilson style bushings, so it works across most popular bushing dies on the market. The standard 1/2 inch outside diameter means it drops right into any die built for Redding bushings.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded or dummy cartridge with an accurate micrometer, then subtract about .001 to .002 inch to allow for brass spring-back. That figure gives you your bushing size. If your neck wall thickness varies more than a couple thousandths, consider going slightly smaller and using an expander button to set the final inside diameter.
The TiN coating adds hardness on top of the already heat-treated steel and reduces friction as the neck passes through. That means smoother sizing, less effort on the press, and necks that come out clean without marks when the brass is lubed. It also helps the bushing hold up over a lot of reloading cycles.
Yes. Bushing sizing lets you size the neck down only as much as needed for proper bullet tension instead of overworking it like a standard one-size die can. Less working of the brass means fewer cracks and splits over time, plus more consistent neck tension that tends to tighten up groups.
