Redding .305 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (76305)

Description

This is Redding's .305" neck sizing bushing in their titanium nitride flavor, part number 76305. It drops into any Redding bushing-style neck sizing or Type S die, letting you size just the neck of your brass to the exact tension you want instead of relying on a fixed-dimension die. For handloaders chasing tighter groups, that kind of control is where the magic happens.

What sets the TiN version apart from the standard steel bushings is the coating. The base is the same heat-treated hardened steel, but the titanium nitride surface treatment bumps up the hardness even further and slicks things down so the case neck slides through with less drag. Less friction means less effort at the press and less working of your brass, which translates to more reloads out of the same cases before they start to go. The bronze-gold color is how you'll spot a TiN bushing at a glance in your box.

Picking the Right .305 Redding Bushing

Sizing is where folks sometimes get tripped up. The way Redding recommends it, you measure the outside diameter of a loaded cartridge neck with a good micrometer, then subtract about .001" to .002" to account for brass springback and get proper bullet grip. That final number is your bushing size. So the .305 is the bushing itself, not a caliber. Match it to your loaded neck measurement and you're set.

How the 76305 TiN Bushing Fits Your Setup

Every Redding bushing shares the same external dimensions, roughly a half-inch outside diameter and about 3/8" long, so they freely interchange across all the Redding bushing dies. They're marked with the size right on them so there's no guessing later. Redding offers the full lineup in .001" steps from .185" up to .368", which means it's easy to stock a couple sizes on either side of your target to fine-tune neck tension for different bullets or as your brass changes over its life. Made in the USA, and built to the precision Redding is known for.
