Will the Redding 73195 steel bushing require any special firearm licensing or compliance certificates to purchase and use in Australia?

No. As an unpowered, purely mechanical reloading accessory, standard neck sizing bushings do not require state or territory firearm licences, SAA certification, or RCM marks for Australian ownership and operation.

How do I determine if the 0.195-inch inside diameter of model 73195 is the correct size for my specific .17 calibre brass?

Redding recommends measuring the outside diameter of a loaded cartridge neck using a micrometer and subtracting 0.001 to 0.002 inches to select the appropriate bushing. The 0.195-inch size is typically ideal for .17 calibre rounds like the .17 Hornet and .17 Remington, where loaded neck diameters run approximately 0.196 to 0.197 inches.

What maintenance and lubrication practices are required when operating the heat-treated steel Redding 73195 bushing?

This model is crafted from high-grade heat-treated steel with a Rockwell hardness of Rc 60-62 and hand-polished internal surfaces to reduce friction. However, standard steel bushings strictly require case neck lubrication prior to sizing to prevent brass sticking, unlike titanium nitride coated alternatives.

Which reloading dies are compatible with the external dimensions of the Redding 0.195-inch bushing?

The Redding 73195 features standard external dimensions of a 0.500-inch outside diameter and a 0.375-inch length. It freely interchanges across all Redding Bushing-Style Sizing Dies, including Type S Full and Neck Sizing Dies, as well as standard Wilson-style neck dies.

Neck Sizing Bushing - Redding 73195

The Redding .195 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing (Model 73195) is a precision reloading component designed to resize cartridge case necks to an exact inside diameter of 0.195 inches. Sized specifically for sub-calibre brass, this tool allows reloaders to maintain precise bullet grip and uniform neck tension without working brass through an expander ball. Built with standard 0.500-inch outside diameter dimensions, it is fully interchangeable across all Redding Bushing-Style Sizing Dies—including Type S Neck and Type S Full Length dies—as well as standard Wilson-style neck dies.

Key Features

Who is the Redding .195 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing for?

Precision handloaders assembling .17 calibre cartridges — Requires a tight 0.195-inch inside diameter steel neck sizing bushing to set exact bullet tension on cartridges such as the .17 Hornet, .17 Remington, and .17 Ackley Hornet without overworking thin case necks.
Benchrest and target shooters — Relies on heat-treated steel hardened to Rc 60–62 with hand-polished internal surfaces to eliminate brass galling and deliver repeatable neck concentricity across high-volume brass preparation.
Varmint hunters reloading small-bore rifles — Uses standard 0.500-inch outside diameter dimensions that interchange directly into Redding Type S dies to produce field-ready rounds with uniform neck grip.

Less suitable for: Precision reloaders whose loaded cartridge necks measure outside the 0.196"–0.197" window (which requires shifting to a different inside-diameter bushing size), or those who require completely dry, lube-free case sizing (which requires a Titanium Nitride coated neck sizing bushing).
