Redding .365 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (76365)

Description

The Redding .365 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing is a precision tool for handloaders who want real control over neck tension instead of leaving it up to a one-size-fits-all die. It starts as heat treated steel hardened to around Rc 60-62, then gets a titanium nitride surface treatment that pushes the effective hardness up near Rc 85 and cuts down sizing friction. The result is a smoother stroke and brass that doesn't get worked any harder than it needs to be.

How the .365 TiN Bushing Earns Its Keep

Bushing dies let you size only the neck, and swapping bushings lets you fine tune how tightly the neck grips the bullet. By picking the right diameter, you give the case just enough tension to hold the bullet securely without overworking the brass. That translates to more consistent seating, less case neck fatigue, and longer brass life, which is what most precision reloaders are chasing.

Sizing and Fit of the Redding .365 Bushing

This bushing measures .365 inches and carries the standard half-inch outside diameter by three-eighths-inch length. It freely interchanges across all Redding bushing-style sizing dies, including the Type S neck and full length dies, and it also fits Wilson-style setups. Redding offers these in .001 inch increments covering calibers from 17 up through 338, and every bushing is marked with its size so you can grab the right one off the bench without guessing.

To land on the correct size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded or dummy round with a good micrometer, then subtract about .001 to .002 inches to account for brass spring back. That gives you the press fit you're after. Made in the USA, this is one of those small pieces of reloading gear that quietly makes a big difference in how your ammo comes together.
