Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a reloading 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 accidental reversal 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 may vary significantly.
