Bushings

Die bushings

Bushings are the interchangeable rings that determine how much the neck is resized in bushing-style dies. The collection includes Redding heat-treated steel and titanium nitride-coated bushings, as well as RCBS and Hornady bushings, in diameters varying by one-thousandth of an inch.

How to choose

• Diameter: measure the diameter of the case neck with the bullet seated and choose a bushing approximately 0.001"-0.003" smaller to achieve the desired tension.
• Compatible die: verify that the bushing is compatible with your die (external dimensions of the bushing).
• Coating: titanium nitride-coated bushings reduce friction and wear.
