This is Redding's .282 inch bushing finished with their titanium nitride coating, part number 76282. If you're running a bushing-style neck sizing die and you want precise control over how tight your necks grip the bullet, this is the piece that makes it happen. It starts as heat treated steel that's hand polished to a surface hardness in the Rc 60 to 62 range, then gets a titanium nitride treatment layered on top to push that hardness even higher and cut down on sizing friction.
The whole point of a bushing like this is tension control. Instead of oversizing the neck and then pulling it back open with an expander, you pick a bushing that brings the neck down to exactly where you want it. The slick TiN surface means the brass slides through with less drag, which keeps your necks from getting overworked and helps your case life stretch out over the long haul. That lighter sizing effort also tends to show up as more consistent tension from case to case, and that's the kind of thing that pays off on paper at distance.
To figure out if .282 is your number, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded or dummy round with a good micrometer, then subtract .001 to .002 inches to account for brass spring back and the grip you want on the bullet. Every bushing is laser marked with its size so you're never guessing which one you grabbed out of the box.
This bushing carries the standard Redding external dimensions of 1/2 inch O.D. by 3/8 inch long, so it drops right into any Redding bushing-style neck sizing or full length die. It also plays nice with other L.E. Wilson style bushing dies from brands like RCBS and Hornady, which makes it an easy add to a bench that's already set up for precision loading.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded or dummy cartridge with a precision micrometer, then subtract .001 to .002 inches to allow for brass spring back and the bullet tension you're after. If that math lands you at .282, this is your bushing. For cases with uneven neck wall thickness, you may want to go a touch smaller and use a sizing button to set the final inside diameter.
It uses Redding's standard 1/2 inch O.D. by 3/8 inch long dimensions, so it interchanges freely in all Redding bushing-style neck sizing and full length dies. It also fits other L.E. Wilson style bushing dies, including offerings from RCBS and Hornady. The bushing itself is sold on its own, so you'll need the die to use it.
Both are heat treated steel, but the titanium nitride treatment adds surface hardness and makes the bushing noticeably slicker. That reduced friction means less sizing effort and less working of your brass, which can translate to longer case life and more consistent neck tension. For folks loading for precision, that consistency is where the TiN version earns its keep.
Yes, every Redding bushing is marked with its size identification right on the body. That way when you've got a drawer full of them, you can grab the .282 without squinting or re-measuring every piece.
