Carbide Neck Sizing Bushings

[300meter]

Does anyone know of a source for carbide neck sizing bushings to fit Redding dies? I have used both the steel and titanium coated, but looking to buy something more durable. THANKS

300 meter,
I have only been using the bushing dies for a couple of years so I am no expert on them,are you wearing out the steel and titanium bushings? or are they not accurate enough? I have found the steel ones non cemetrical.not bad but not perfect.

Sinclair makes six sizes, but only from .2570 to .2595.

Thanks for the replies. I like the titanium bushings, but the plain steel tend to scratch the brass after a few hundred uses. Looking for the carbide so they will last longer.

I have found that if you soak that steel bushing in solvent overnight and brush it most of the accumulated brass that is scratching your case necks will disappear.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

Try Butch Lambert. He used to make carbide bushings (don't know if he still does), and I have used several for 6.5 to 30 cal. They are so good that they actually burnish the case necks. Butch is great to deal with -- top shelf.

Check with Dick Wright of White Tail precision. He was a supplier of carbide neck sizing bushing many years ago. Dick is a PS columnist and good guy.
