The Redding .283 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (MPN: 76283) is a precision metallic cartridge reloading component engineered for exact neck tension control. Designed for use in bushing-style reloading dies, it sizes cartridge case necks strictly to a 0.283-inch outer diameter without sizing the case body or overworking the brass. It features a heat-treated steel body coated in a gold-coloured Titanium Nitride (TiN) surface treatment, which increases surface hardness and lubricity to reduce friction during sizing. Built to self-centre inside standard bushing cavities, it freely aligns with the cartridge case axis during the press stroke to minimise neck runout.

Key Features

  • Precise Neck Sizing: Sizing case necks to a fixed 0.283-inch dimension allows handloaders to establish consistent bullet grip and optimal release characteristics.
  • Titanium Nitride Coating: Low-friction TiN surface treatment minimises drag and sizing resistance against the brass neck while enhancing wear resistance.
  • Self-Centering Floating Fit: Floats within compatible die cavities to automatically align with the case neck axis and maintain concentricity.
  • Universal Die Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with all Redding Type S Neck Sizing Dies, Type S Full Length Dies, Competition Neck Sizing Dies, and standard 1/2-inch outer diameter bushing dies.

Who is the Redding .283 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing for?

  • Benchrest precision handloaders — requires an exact 0.283-inch internal diameter to finely tune bullet-seating tension in 0.001-inch increments while reducing case work hardening.
  • F-Class and PRS competitors — utilizes the standard 1/2-inch outer diameter by 3/8-inch length format to fit standard Type S bushing dies for repeatable, uniform neck sizing across match brass.
  • Long-range hunters reloading 6.5mm cartridges — benefits from this Titanium Nitride neck sizing bushing when sizing brass with specific neck wall thicknesses to achieve consistent chambering and bullet retention across cartridges such as 6.5mm Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing brass lots where case neck wall thickness varies by more than 0.002 inches without prior neck-turning, who require alternative bushing sizes in matching 0.001-inch steps or dedicated neck-turning tools to establish uniform dimensions before sizing.
