Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a charge bar setup where keeping shot and powder bushings correctly oriented matters. It is machined from solid bar stock and reamed, with a design that helps prevent shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, which adds flexibility for users working with compatible equipment. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since chart listings can vary significantly.

- Selecting the right fit may require buying the target bushing plus the next higher and lower sizes for fine adjustment.
- This is a single interchangeable bushing, so it is a specialized replacement or setup part rather than a complete charge-bar system.
- Compatibility is limited to Hornady and RCBS bushings being interchangeable, so it is not a universal fit for every reloading setup.
