Redding Reloading Equipment
The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing/.248 is a precision neck-sizing bushing engineered for handloaders who demand consistency and control over their ammunition. Built from heat-treated steel, this .248" bushing delivers repeatable neck tension and sizing geometry critical for accurate reloading—whether you're prepping match rounds, hunting loads, or range ammunition. Redding's 73-style bushings are the standard choice for shooters running neck-sizing dies who want to fine-tune brass preparation without full-length resizing.
The sizing diameter is hand polished to a Rc 60-62 surface hardness, which does double duty: it reduces the force required to size your necks and extends bushing life under repeated use. That polished finish matters on the bench—it means smoother operation and less wear on your press. The .248" diameter fits cartridges that demand this specific neck dimension; Redding manufactures these bushings in .001" increments across the full range from .185" to .368", so you can dial in the exact neck fit your brass and bullets require.
If you're running a Redding neck-sizing die or any comparable 73-style die body, this bushing is a drop-in replacement or an upgrade from a worn unit. It's a straightforward, mechanical solution to one of reloading's most important variables: consistent neck tension. No electronics, no adjustments—just precise steel that does the job correctly, shot after shot.

A .248" bushing is intended for cartridges that require that specific neck dimension. Common examples include certain .243 Winchester loads and similar cartridges, but the exact fit depends on your particular brass and bullet combination. Measure your brass neck or consult your load data to confirm the correct bushing size for your ammunition.
This bushing works as both a replacement for a worn unit and as an upgrade to a softer bushing. If you're upgrading from factory-supplied bushings or a used bushing, the hand-polished surface and Rc 60-62 hardness of this Redding bushing will provide smoother operation and longer life.
Yes. Redding manufactures 73-style bushings in .001" increments from .185" to .368". If you need a different size, Redding offers the complete range. The last three digits of the part number (RD73XXX) denote the bushing size, so finding and ordering the exact diameter you need is straightforward.
