What dies are compatible with the Redding 76281 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing?

The Redding 76281 bushing features standard external dimensions of a 1/2-inch outer diameter by 3/8-inch length. It is fully compatible with all Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Dies, Type S Full Length Sizing Dies, Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Dies, and is interchangeable with standard Wilson-style neck bushing dies.

How do I determine if the 0.281-inch diameter is the correct size for my specific cartridge case setup?

To select the correct bushing size, Redding recommends measuring the outside diameter of a loaded cartridge neck with your preferred brass and bullet combination, then subtracting 0.001 to 0.002 inches to account for brass spring-back. The 0.281-inch model is frequently utilized for precision calibres such as 6.5mm Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, .260 Remington, or 6mm variants depending on your specific brass neck wall thickness.

Does this Titanium Nitride coated bushing require any special Australian electrical compliance or safety certifications?

No. The Redding 76281 is an entirely mechanical, unpowered reloading tool made with a heat-treated steel core and Titanium Nitride coating. Therefore, electrical compliance, 240V ratings, and SAA or RCM certifications do not apply to this product.

How does the Titanium Nitride coating affect the operation and maintenance of the sizing bushing?

The Titanium Nitride surface coating provides a high base hardness of Rc 60-62 and greatly reduces the coefficient of friction during the sizing process, which helps minimise brass galling and extends tool longevity. While the coating significantly reduces friction, Redding still recommends applying a light layer of case neck lubricant to ensure ultra-smooth operation during reloading sessions.

Neck Sizing Bushing - Redding 76281

The Redding .281 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (Model 76281) is a precision reloading component engineered to set exact cartridge case neck diameter and neck tension in 0.001-inch increments. Machined from a heat-treated steel core with a base hardness of Rc 60–62, this bushing features a hand-polished interior finished with a gold-coloured Titanium Nitride (TiN) surface coating. This coating increases surface hardness, minimises brass galling, and reduces friction during sizing. Built to standard external dimensions of 0.500 inches (1/2") outer diameter by 0.375 inches (3/8") in length, it allows reloaders using bushing-style dies to size brass necks from the outside without requiring an expander ball, preserving brass concentricity and prolonging case life.

Key Features

Precise Neck Sizing: Delivers an exact 0.281-inch internal diameter, allowing precision control over neck tension and reducing brass fatigue compared to standard expander buttons.
Titanium Nitride Coating: Features a specialised TiN surface application that lowers sizing friction, prevents brass transfer, and provides high wear resistance over an Rc 60–62 steel substrate.
Wide Die Compatibility: Fits all standard Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Dies, Type S Full Length Sizing Dies, Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Dies, and Wilson-style neck bushing dies.
Enhanced Concentricity: Freely centers within compatible sizing dies to size cartridge case necks uniformly without distorting case shoulders or bodies.

Who is the Redding .281 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing for?

Precision rifle reloaders — requiring a specific 0.281-inch internal diameter neck sizing bushing to achieve exact, repeatable case neck tension without overworking cartridge brass.
Benchrest competitors and long-range hunters — sizing calibres such as 6.5mm Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, .260 Remington, or 6mm variants using Redding Type S dies that match standard 0.500-inch outer diameter and 0.375-inch length bushing dimensions.

Less suitable for: Cartridge cases with neck wall thickness variations exceeding 0.002 inches, where a smaller bushing or dedicated neck-turning tooling is required to establish consistent concentricity.
