Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is intended for use in a reloading setup where clear separation between shot and powder bushings matters. It is machined from solid bar stock and reamed, and the design helps prevent shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed in the charge bar. Hornady and RCBS bushings are interchangeable, and the included note advises verifying powder charge weight with an accurate scale since weights can vary from chart listings.
