Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a charge bar setup where keeping shot and powder bushings correctly identified matters. Machined from solid bar stock and reamed, it is built for reloaders who want a straightforward, replaceable component in their powder-handling system. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, which adds flexibility when matching existing equipment. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since listed weights can vary significantly.
