The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing in .247" is a precision-engineered neck sizing component built for reloaders who demand consistency and repeatability. If you're running a Redding Type S press or other compatible setup and need tight neck control for match-grade rifle ammunition, this hardened steel bushing delivers the controlled sizing pressure that separates mediocre loads from ones that shoot. The .247" dimension fits a specific neck diameter range, making it essential to verify your requirement before ordering—Redding produces these bushings in .001" increments across a wide range, so getting the right size matters.
Built from heat-treated steel and hand-polished to a surface hardness of Rc 60–62, this bushing resists wear and reduces the effort needed to push brass through the sizing die. That hardness keeps sizing dimensions stable over thousands of rounds, which translates to more uniform neck fit on your loaded cartridges and better shot-to-shot precision downrange. Whether you're loading for a precision rifle match, a hunting rifle you've dialed in, or a benchrest setup, consistent neck sizing is foundational to ammunition that performs.
Redding's 73 Style bushings are the standard in serious reloading circles—they're the go-to choice when you need interchangeable, reliable neck sizing without the complexity of adjustable bushings. Keep a few sizes on hand and swap them as you move between cartridges or adjust your reloading approach.
| Bushing Size | .247" |
| Material | Heat-treated steel |
| Surface Hardness | Rc 60–62 |
| Finish | Hand-polished |
| Style | Redding 73 Style |
The .247" Redding 73 Style bushing is compatible with Redding Type S presses and any standard dies designed to accept 73 Style bushings. Check your die documentation or contact the die manufacturer if you're unsure.
Bushing size depends on your fired case neck diameter and the amount of sizing you want to apply. Measure your fired brass neck diameter and consult Redding's sizing guides or load manuals specific to your cartridge. Getting the wrong size will result in either inadequate sizing or excessive force, so verify before ordering.
Redding 73 Style fixed bushings are simpler, faster to change, and require no fine-tuning—swap one out, and you're ready to size. Adjustable bushings offer micro-adjustment within a range but add complexity. Fixed bushings are ideal if you're running multiple cartridges or reload frequently and don't need constant tweaking.
The hand-polished, heat-treated steel resists wear over thousands of rounds. Hardness and finish quality mean minimal degradation in sizing pressure or consistency, but actual lifespan depends on volume, brass quality, and maintenance. Most reloaders find them reliable for years of steady use.
