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, with a design that 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 since listed weights can vary from chart values. For a reloading bench, it serves as a simple component for managing charge selection with added attention to setup accuracy.
