Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is made for reloaders who want a straightforward way to set up a charge bar with less risk of mixing shot and powder bushings. It is machined from solid bar stock and reamed, with a design intended to keep the two bushing types from being accidentally reversed. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, which adds flexibility when matching components. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since chart listings can vary.
