Overview
Designed for use in a charge bar setup, this interchangeable bushing helps keep shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed. It is machined from solid bar stock and reamed for a precise fit within the intended system. For careful load setup, Hornady notes that powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since weights can vary from chart listings. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, which adds flexibility for users working with compatible equipment.
