Re: Redding Stype neck bushings
I bought the titanium ones. They are supposedly better and not that more expensive. The only draw back I can see is that the coating might make it one or two ten thousandth smaller than expected.

I've got both, in my opninion the steel ones will last so long that you will probably be tired of reloading before it has to be relaced.

Steel work fine but the Ti coated neck bushings work smoother and last longer. I still use Imperial neck lube but it's really about making it smoother and easier to press. I just loaded 400 rounds of various .308Win and using my Dillon 550 as a single stage press requires a lot of lever operations.
HTH!

I've been using the titanium coated neck bushing with case lube. The one upgrade I want to do is install the carbide button. The fact that it floats on the decapping rod, is going to make it easier on the neck of your brass.

Not trying to hijack the thread...
I'm plan on using this die (308win) with a 0.336 busing (Ti). Is there any need for a decaping pin/neck exander if the brass has been decapped prior to cleaning??
Thanks in advance for any info.

If you are going to only have one neck bushing I highly recommend you measure several of your case necks using a tube or ball mic. You can also measure some un-fired loaded rounds with good metal calipers or micrometer that use the same cases and bullets and subtract 0.001" to get the right bushing size.
Also be aware that if you have to size your case necks more than 0.005" you should do it in stages or the resulting neck O.D. size may be much smaller than the bushing size indicates.
HTH!
