UK/EU source for Redding TiN Bushings

[rox]

I'm about to place an order with shooting-supplies.eu, and one item is out of stock (until August!):

Redding TiN bushing 0.335

Can anyone suggest anywhere else in the UK or EU who stocks these ?

Thanks,

Rox

Will do - and let me know if there's anything of similar value I can bring back for you from SS.eu in exchange.

Just checked and it is a .337 not a .335

If it is any use until you are properly sorted let me know and I can drop it off in the range office later this week.

Thanks for the offer, but I have the regular steel .335 to be going on with; I want to test the theory of running lubeless with TiN bushings when partial neck sizing with a view to progressive operation.

Thanks,

My experience is some lube is better than none, I use Imperial sizing wax and you can get away with lubing 1:5. How are you going to clean the cases prior to the operation?

Probably tumble, then optionally a u/s or chemical process. I've always used Imperial dry lube when single stage loading with partial neck sizing with bushing dies, but for a progressive process it would be a great help if it could be done lubeless. Certainly there are some who do run bushing dies lubeless (without expanders, of course), provided the brass is clean and the bushings are cleaned periodically.

Well they do say they can be run dry but I find the necks tend to be marked slightly, certainly it leaves a bright mark on some so I add the lube.
