The Redding 73 Style Steel Bushing (.285 Inch) (part no. 73285) is an interchangeable sizing bushing that drops into a Redding Type S bushing die to control case neck tension at exactly .285 inch. Made by Redding from steel, It’s machined to the Redding 73-style body profile used across their Type S bushing die line. Handloaders build a small set of bushings across a few thousandths to fine-tune neck tension for a specific rifle and load rather than relying on the one fixed size a non-bushing die provides.
