The Redding .282 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (MPN 76282) is a precision metallic reloading component engineered to size cartridge case necks to an exact dimension without overworking brass. Featuring an internal sizing diameter of 0.282 inches, this bushing establishes precise bullet grip and neck tension without requiring an expander ball. Built with standard 1/2-inch (0.500") outer diameter and 3/8-inch (0.375") length dimensions, it freely interchanges across all Redding Type S Bushing Neck Dies, Type S Full Length Dies, Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Dies, and standard 1/2-inch dies from brands such as L.E. Wilson.

Key Features

  • Titanium Nitride (TiN) Surface Treatment: Coated over a heat-treated steel base (heat-treated to approximately Rc 60–62) to increase surface hardness, reduce sizing friction, and minimise brass galling.
  • Neck Tension Customisation: Accurately sizes the neck down to 0.282 inches, letting handloaders set neck tension typically 0.001 to 0.003 inches under the loaded neck diameter.
  • Extended Brass Life: Eliminates excessive working of the case neck and minimises neck runout compared to standard full-length sizing dies with expander buttons.
  • Universal Outer Dimensions: Built with a 0.500-inch outer diameter and 0.375-inch height for compatibility across standard bushing reloading dies.

Who is the Redding .282 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing for?

  • Handloaders loading 6.5mm precision rifle cartridges for benchrest and long-range shooting — requires a 0.282-inch inner diameter neck sizing bushing to achieve 0.001" to 0.003" neck tension on brass with loaded neck dimensions measuring approximately 0.283" to 0.285" (such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, or .260 Remington).
  • Handloaders seeking to extend brass life and minimise neck runout using bushing-style reloading dies — relies on the 1/2-inch (0.500") outer diameter format to precisely control neck sizing without using an expander ball, preventing concentricity defects.

Less suitable for: Handloaders sizing neck diameters down by more than 0.005 inches in a single pass (which requires intermediate step-down bushings to prevent shoulder collapse), or calibres requiring outside neck dimensions other than 0.282 inches (which require alternative bushing diameters within Redding's .185" to .368" range).
