Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.291

The Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.291 is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters and handloaders who demand consistency and durability in ammunition preparation. This bushing serves as a critical wear surface in the Redding reloading press, managing the interaction between your die and the press ram during the sizing and bullet-seating process. Precision reloaders—whether competitive shooters, hunters, or precision rifle enthusiasts—rely on quality bushings to maintain straightness, minimize friction, and extend the working life of their dies.

The titanium nitride coating applied to this bushing dramatically reduces friction and wear compared to standard steel bushings, translating to smoother operation and fewer press cycles needed to achieve proper case sizing and bullet seating. Titanium nitride is a ceramic compound that bonds at the molecular level, creating a hard, low-friction surface that resists galling and scoring—two common failure modes in standard bushings after hundreds or thousands of rounds. The .291 dimension specifies the bore size, ensuring compatibility with standard Redding press tooling and maintaining the tight tolerances necessary for consistent case and bullet alignment during the reloading process.

Handloaders working with progressive or single-stage Redding presses benefit most from upgrading to titanium nitride bushings, especially those processing high volumes or working with match-grade ammunition requirements. This bushing is ideal for reloaders who want to reduce press resistance, lower the risk of die damage from binding, and extend the service life of their entire reloading setup. Installation is straightforward—simply remove the worn bushing from your press ram and insert the Redding Titanium Nitride Bushing/.291 in its place, requiring no additional tools or modifications.
