Overview
This interchangeable charge bushing is made for reloaders who want a straightforward way to set up powder charges with compatible charge bars. Its design helps prevent shot and powder bushings from being accidentally reversed, adding a useful layer of organization during loading. Machined from solid bar stock and reamed, it is intended for use with Hornady and RCBS bushings that share interchangeability. As noted by the manufacturer, powder charge weight should always be confirmed with an accurate scale, since chart listings can vary.
