The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing in .253" size is a precision neck-sizing component built for reloaders who demand consistent, low-friction cartridge preparation. This bushing fits Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies and uses a hard titanium nitride coating applied over heat-treated steel to reduce sizing friction and extend service life. If you're loading rifle rounds and want repeatable neck tension with minimal drag on your brass, this is the kind of small upgrade that compounds into better accuracy and easier operation over hundreds of reloads.
Neck-sizing bushings work by controlling exactly how much the case neck is resized during the reloading cycle. The .253" size is engineered for cartridges in that bore range; Redding manufactures bushings in .001" increments across their full lineup, so you can dial in the fit for your specific cases and bullets. The titanium nitride coating is the real value here—it's harder than standard steel and naturally sheds sizing compound and case lubricant, so your bushing stays clean and your sizing stroke stays smooth even during long reloading sessions.
This is a wear component, so if you're already running a Redding bushing-style die and you've noticed increased friction or your bushing is getting cosmetic wear, a fresh TiN-coated bushing is a straightforward replacement that'll restore smooth operation and tighter control over neck tension.
| Brand | Redding |
| Product Type | Neck Sizing Bushing |
| Size | .253" |
| Surface Coating | Titanium Nitride |
| Base Material | Heat-Treated Steel |
The .253" bushing is designed for cartridges with neck diameters in that range. Check your cartridge specifications or consult Redding's sizing chart to confirm the correct bushing diameter for your loads.
This bushing is compatible with Redding's bushing-style neck-sizing dies. It will not fit dies that do not accept interchangeable bushings. Verify your die type before ordering.
The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during the sizing stroke. This means easier reloading operation, less buildup of sizing compound on the bushing, and extended service life compared to uncoated steel bushings.
If you notice increased friction, drag marks on your cases, or the bushing exterior shows significant wear or scratching, it's time for a fresh bushing. A TiN-coated replacement will restore smooth, consistent sizing.
