HORN 486 Precision Powder Charge Bushing for Reloading

The Hornady 486 Precision Powder Charge Bushing is a reloading accessory designed to work with compatible Hornady powder measures. This single bushing delivers consistent powder charges—a critical foundation for accurate, repeatable ammunition. Whether you're loading rifle or pistol cartridges for hunting, competition, or range work, a precision powder bushing helps ensure shot-to-shot consistency by metering the exact charge weight your loads require.

Powder bushings are interchangeable components that fit into your powder measure's drum, each calibrated to drop a specific charge weight. The 486 bushing is part of Hornady's modular reloading system, allowing you to swap bushings quickly when you change calibers or load configurations without disassembling your press. This plug-and-play approach saves setup time and keeps your reloading bench efficient.

If you're building loads for precision rifle work, hunting, or high-volume pistol production, having the right bushing on hand means you're ready to load without delay. Hornady powder bushings are manufactured to tight tolerances, so you get the same accurate charge drop every time you use it.
