Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a reloading setup where clear separation between shot and powder components matters. It is machined from solid bar stock and reamed, with a design that helps prevent shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed in the charge bar. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, which adds flexibility for users working with compatible equipment. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be verified with an accurate scale, since chart listings can vary significantly.
