What reloading dies are compatible with the Redding 73292 .292 inch heat-treated steel neck sizing bushing?

This bushing is directly compatible with all Redding Bushing-Style Sizing Dies, including Type S Bushing Neck Dies, Type S Full Length Sizing Dies, and Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Dies. It is also fully interchangeable with standard L.E. Wilson-style bushing dies used by Australian handloaders.

Does this standard heat-treated steel bushing require case neck lubrication during reloading?

Yes, standard heat-treated steel bushings require case neck lubrication, such as mica, dry neck lube, or standard case sizing wax, prior to sizing to prevent brass galling or sticking. If you prefer a setup that avoids case neck lubrication entirely, we recommend upgrading to Redding's Titanium Nitride coated bushing line.

What is the maximum reduction limit recommended in a single pass when using this .292 bushing?

Manufacturers advise against reducing the case neck diameter by more than 0.004 inches to 0.005 inches in a single pass through a single bushing. For larger reductions, you should step down gradually across intermediate bushing sizes to avoid neck buckling and ensure precise concentricity for your 6.5mm precision rounds.

Does this mechanical reloading component require any electrical compliance certifications for use in Australia?

No, as a purely mechanical reloading tool component hardened to Rockwell Rc 60-62, it does not require 240V power, Australian electrical plugs, or SAA and RCM certifications. It is safe for standard benchtop reloading use across Australian workshops.

Neck Sizing Bushing - Redding 73292

The Redding .292 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing (MPN 73292) is a precision reloading component engineered to regulate cartridge case neck tension without overworking the brass. By sizing only the neck to a precise inside diameter of 0.292 inches, this bushing extends cartridge case life and maintains consistent bullet release for improved accuracy. It fits standard bushing-style dies, including Redding Type S Bushing Neck Dies, Type S Full Length Dies, Competition Bushing Neck Dies, and interchangeable L.E. Wilson-style dies.

Key Features

Precision Neck Tension Control: Sizes cartridge case necks to an exact 0.292-inch inside diameter, avoiding excessive brass working and eliminating the need for standard expander balls.
Hand-Polished Interior Bore: Features a polished internal surface hardened to approximately Rockwell Rc 60–62 to minimize friction and prevent brass marking during sizing.
Industry-Standard Dimensions: Built with a 1/2-inch (0.500 in / 12.7 mm) outer diameter and a 3/8-inch (0.375 in / 9.5 mm) height for broad die compatibility.
Clearly Marked Identification: Stamped with the specific sizing diameter of .292 directly on the heat-treated steel body for rapid identification.

Who is the Redding .292 Heat-Treated Steel Neck Sizing Bushing for?

Precision long-range handloaders reloading 6.5mm cartridges — provides an inside diameter of 0.292 inches to establish specific 0.001-inch to 0.002-inch neck tension on popular brass cases such as 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, and 6.5x47 Lapua when using this reloading neck sizing bushing.
Benchrest and PRS competitors custom-tuning bullet hold — uses a hand-polished Rockwell Rc 60–62 hardened steel surface to achieve repeatable bullet release resistance across match cartridge batches.

Less suitable for: Handloaders who prefer dry sizing without case neck lubrication, who are better served by a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated bushing, or those needing to reduce neck diameter by more than 0.004 inches to 0.005 inches in a single step, who require intermediate stepping bushings or a standard full-length sizing die to prevent neck buckling.
