Hornady Field Load Bushing - 1 1/8 oz

The Hornady Field Load Bushing in 1 1/8 oz is a purpose-built powder measure component designed for reloaders working with Hornady shotshell equipment. This bushing fits all Hornady shotshell reloaders and is calibrated to meter the exact powder charge needed for a 1 1/8 oz shot load—a common field and competition load weight. Whether you're loading trap, skeet, or hunting rounds, swapping bushings lets you quickly adjust your powder measure to different charge weights without breaking down your press.

Small shot sizes pack tighter than larger pellets, which can throw off your powder measure if you're using a bushing designed for different shot or different charge volumes. This Hornady bushing compensates for that density difference, ensuring consistent, maximum legal loads for trap and skeet shooting. Because reloading tolerances matter—especially when you're working up loads for competition or the field—using the right bushing for your intended load weight removes guesswork and keeps your rounds within safe, legal limits.

This is a lead shot bushing; use it only with lead shot. If you're building a battery of Hornady bushings to handle multiple load recipes, this 1 1/8 oz version is a straightforward addition that locks in that popular mid-weight charge. Keep it organized with your other reloading components so you grab the right one every time you step up to your press.
