Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a charge bar setup where keeping shot and powder bushings correctly identified 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, which can simplify setup for users working with compatible equipment. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since listed weights may vary.
