The Redding .316 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing (MPN 76316) is a precision reloading component engineered to size cartridge case necks to an exact inside diameter of 0.316 inches. Built on a heat-treated steel base hardened to approximately Rc 60–62 and finished with a hand-polished Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, this bushing provides precise neck tension without overworking the brass or requiring an expander ball. It features standard exterior dimensions of a 1/2-inch outer diameter (0.500") by a 3/8-inch length (0.375"), allowing it to interchange freely across all Redding Type S Bushing Dies, Competition Bushing Dies, and compatible L.E. Wilson bushing-style sizing dies.

Key Features

  • Precise Neck Tension: Accurately sizes case necks to a 0.316-inch diameter, typically matching loaded cartridge necks measuring 0.317" to 0.318" to deliver 0.001" to 0.002" of controlled tension.
  • Titanium Nitride Coating: Lowers surface friction during the press stroke and increases surface hardness over standard steel bushings to extend component service life.
  • Die Compatibility: Built to standard 0.500-inch OD and 0.375-inch length dimensions, fitting Redding Type S Full Length and Neck Sizing dies, Competition Bushing dies, and L.E. Wilson bushing dies.
  • Mechanical Simplicity: Purely mechanical 15 to 25 gram reloading component requiring no power supply or electrical connections.

Who is the Redding .316 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing for?

  • Precision handloaders assembling target shooting and long-range benchrest ammunition — Requires setting an exact 0.001" to 0.002" of neck tension on cartridge cases with loaded neck diameters measuring 0.317" to 0.318" using this 0.316-inch diameter Titanium Nitride neck sizing bushing.
  • Handloaders creating precision hunting handloads requiring exact neck tension — Relies on the standard 0.500-inch outer diameter and 0.375-inch length form factor to size brass consistently across standard-calibre Redding Type S and Competition sizing dies.

Less suitable for: Handloaders assembling large-magnum calibres requiring neck bushing sizes from 0.369 inches to 0.405 inches (such as .338 Lapua Magnum), which exceed standard 1/2-inch dies and require large-diameter steel sizing bushings with a 5/8-inch outer diameter and 1/2-inch length.
