What reloading dies are compatible with the Redding 73191 .191 bushing?

This bushing fits all Redding bushing-style reloading dies, including Type S Neck Sizing Dies, Type S Full Length Sizing Dies, and Competition Neck Sizing Dies. It is also cross-compatible with standard Wilson-style bushing dies that utilise an outer diameter of 1/2 inch and length of 3/8 inch.

Do I need to use case neck lubrication with this heat-treated steel bushing?

Yes, case neck lubrication is strictly recommended with standard heat-treated steel bushings like the 73191 to prevent galling, excessive friction, or brass sticking during the sizing process. If you prefer a non-lubricated operation or reduced friction, consider upgrading to Redding's Titanium Nitride coated bushing series, model 76191.

How do I determine if the 0.191-inch size is correct for my specific .17 calibre brass?

Redding specifies selecting a bushing size by measuring the outside diameter of a loaded cartridge neck with a micrometer and subtracting 0.001 to 0.002 inches. This accounts for brass spring-back and achieves your desired bullet neck tension. If your measured dimensions fall outside this target, you will need to transition up or down within Redding's available range.

What material and surface hardness does the Redding 73191 bushing feature?

The Redding 73191 is crafted from precision-machined steel and heat-treated to a surface hardness of Rockwell C 60 to 62 (Rc 60-62) for enhanced wear resistance. It features a hand-polished inner diameter and a bevelled opening to facilitate smooth entry and centering of the cartridge case mouth.

Neck Sizing Bushing - Redding 73191

The Redding .191 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing (MPN: 73191) is a precision reloading component engineered to control cartridge case neck tension without over-working the brass. Sized to an internal diameter of 0.191 inches, this bushing sizes brass necks in exact 0.001-inch increments to improve concentricity and prolong case life. It is compatible with all Redding bushing-style reloading dies—including Type S Neck Sizing Dies, Type S Full Length Sizing Dies, and Competition Neck Sizing Dies—as well as Wilson-style bushing dies.

Key Features

Precise Neck Sizing: Maintains exact neck tension with a 0.191-inch inside diameter, reducing brass fatigue compared to standard non-bushing sizing dies.
Hardened Steel Construction: Precision-machined and heat-treated to an approximate surface hardness of Rc 60–62 for wear resistance and reduced sizing effort.
Hand-Polished Interior: Features a hand-polished internal surface and a bevelled entry mouth to ensure smooth, concentric case entry.
Clear Identification: Stamped with "191" on the exterior surface for fast size verification on the reloading bench.

Who is the Redding .191 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing for?

Precision handloaders reloading sub-calibre cartridges — requires a 0.191-inch inside diameter steel neck sizing bushing to set exact neck tension and minimise brass fatigue on small-calibre cases.
Benchrest and varmint shooters using .17 calibre platforms — relies on the heat-treated Rc 60–62 surface hardness and industry-standard 1/2-inch (0.500 in) outer diameter of this steel neck sizing bushing for uniform, concentric sizing across continuous reloading sessions.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to size cartridge necks without applying case lubricant or requiring ultra-low friction (who should use a titanium nitride coated neck sizing bushing), or those whose loaded case necks measure outside the target dimension requiring a bushing outside the 0.191-inch specification (who must select an alternative steel bushing diameter between 0.185 inches and 0.368 inches).
