Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.226

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.226 is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters and handloaders who demand exact case-neck sizing for repeatable, match-grade ammunition. Built by Redding, a trusted name in reloading dies and accessories, this bushing serves as a critical wear-resistant insert that controls the inside diameter of cartridge necks during the sizing process. Whether you're loading for precision rifle competitions, hunting, or high-volume range work, proper bushing selection directly impacts case life, bullet seating consistency, and overall cartridge reliability.

Manufactured with titanium nitride coating, this .226-inch diameter bushing delivers superior hardness and reduced friction compared to standard steel bushings, extending service life and minimizing case deformation during repeated sizing cycles. The titanium nitride finish creates a self-lubricating surface that requires less die lubricant, reducing contamination and cleanup time while improving the consistency of neck tension from round to round. This dimensional precision—measured at .226 inches—ensures that cases are sized uniformly, allowing for tighter bullet runout tolerances and more uniform pressures downrange, critical factors in both competition reloading and precision rifle work.

This bushing is ideal for reloaders working with intermediate and full-power rifle cartridges where neck diameter control is non-negotiable. Installation into compatible Redding bushing-style sizing dies is straightforward and requires no special tools beyond a simple wrench or die wrench. The .226-inch specification fits a wide range of wildcat and standard rifle calibers, making it a versatile choice for shooters with multiple cartridges in their reloading setup. For those seeking to maximize ammunition consistency and extend brass case life, the Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.226 delivers measurable improvements in shot-to-shot repeatability.
