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, and the design helps prevent shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, and the product notes emphasize verifying powder charge weight with an accurate scale because charted weights may vary. For reloaders who want a straightforward replacement or addition to their bushing set, it offers a simple, purpose-built component.

- Selecting only one bushing can limit fine-tuning, so Hornady recommends also considering the next higher and lower sizes.
- This is a single powder bushing, so it is a specialized replacement/accessory rather than a complete charge-bar setup.
- Compatibility is noted with Hornady and RCBS bushings, but it is still important to verify fit with your specific charge bar before use.
