Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a reloading setup where keeping powder and shot bushings properly identified 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 listed weights can vary significantly.

Considerations & Trade-offs

- For best results, Hornady recommends buying the needed bushing along with the next number higher and lower, which may mean additional purchases to fine-tune the charge.
- This is a single powder bushing, so it is a component for an existing charge bar setup rather than a complete reloading system.
- Compatibility is limited to Hornady and RCBS bushings being interchangeable, so it should be matched to the correct charge bar application.
