Neck tension is one of those little details that separates good handloads from great ones, and this is where a bushing like the Redding .294" Titanium Nitride bushing earns its keep. Instead of letting a fixed die squeeze your necks way down and spring them back up, you pick the exact bushing diameter that gives you just the right grip on the bullet. Less working of the brass means more consistent release, better case life, and the kind of repeatable results precision handloaders chase.
These Redding neck sizer bushings freely interchange across all of Redding's bushing-style sizing dies, including the Type S and Competition die families. They measure 1/2" O.D. by 3/8" long, and every bushing is marked with its size so you can grab the right one at a glance. To find the diameter you need, measure the outside neck of a loaded cartridge with a precision micrometer and subtract .001" to .002" to account for brass spring back and bullet tension. If a loaded round mics at .296", this .294" bushing lands right in that sweet spot.
Underneath, this is heat treated steel hand polished to a surface hardness of Rc 60 to 62, which already keeps sizing effort low. The titanium nitride surface treatment takes it a step further by boosting the effective surface hardness and cutting down sizing friction even more. In plain terms, your necks pass through smoother with less drag, and the hard coating holds up to a lot of cycles. It's a worthwhile upgrade over bare steel if you load often or run large batches.
Since these come as single bushings, a lot of folks keep a few neighboring sizes on hand so they can fine tune tension as their brass work hardens over time. Made in the USA, and a solid piece of the puzzle for anyone building accurate, repeatable ammo.
It freely interchanges across all of Redding's bushing-style sizing dies, including the Type S and Competition lines. You just drop it into the die and lock it down. Dies and shellholders are sold separately.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge with a precision micrometer, then subtract .001" to .002" to account for brass spring back and bullet tension. If your loaded round mics around .295" to .296", this .294" bushing is likely your size. Many handloaders keep a couple of neighboring sizes on hand to fine tune tension.
Both start as heat-treated steel polished to an Rc 60-62 surface hardness, but the titanium nitride coating adds extra surface hardness and reduces sizing friction. That means smoother, easier neck sizing and a hard-wearing surface that holds up well over lots of reloading cycles. It's a nice upgrade if you load in volume.
By picking the exact bushing diameter, you apply just enough neck tension to hold the bullet without over-working the brass. Less brass movement during sizing leads to more consistent bullet release and longer case life, both of which support better accuracy and repeatability at the bench.
