Dialing in neck tension is one of those little details that separates good handloads from great ones, and this .260" Redding bushing is how you take control of it. It's a titanium nitride coated bushing that works with Redding's bushing-style neck sizing dies, letting you size the case neck exactly as much as you want and nothing more. Instead of overworking your brass with a one-size-fits-all die, you pick the bushing that gives your loaded round just enough grip on the bullet.
This is the same heat treated steel bushing Redding is known for, with a hardness around Rc 60 to 62, but it adds a titanium nitride surface treatment on top. That TiN coating bumps up the surface hardness even more and cuts down on sizing friction, so cases slide through smoother and the bushing holds up over a long reloading career. The gold bronze color is the giveaway that you're looking at the coated version rather than plain steel.
Every Redding bushing shares the same external dimensions, 1/2" outside diameter by 3/8" long, so they interchange freely across all Redding bushing style neck sizing dies. They're offered in .001" increments across a wide range and each one is clearly marked with its size for easy identification. To figure out which bushing you need, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge with a good micrometer, then subtract about .001" to .002" to account for brass spring back and give you proper bullet tension.
For anyone loading 6.5mm cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, or 6.5×55, the .260" is a common landing spot depending on your brass and the neck tension you're after. It's a small part that makes a real difference at the bench, and it's made in the USA.
It fits any Redding bushing-style neck sizing die. Every Redding bushing shares the same 1/2" outside diameter by 3/8" length, so they interchange freely across the bushing die lineup. If your die is a Redding Type S or similar bushing die, this will drop right in.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge with a precision micrometer, then subtract about .001" to .002" from that number. That accounts for brass spring back and gives you the right amount of bullet tension. Since bushings come in .001" increments, it's common to keep a couple of sizes on hand to fine tune.
Both start as the same hardened heat treated steel, but the titanium nitride bushing adds a TiN surface coating. That coating increases surface hardness even further and reduces sizing friction, so cases size a little smoother. You can also spot the TiN version by its gold bronze color versus the natural steel finish.
A bushing lets you control exactly how much the case neck gets sized rather than squeezing it down and expanding it back out. That means you set just the neck tension you want without overworking the brass, which helps consistency and extends case life. It's a popular approach for precision and long range handloaders.
