Hornady Field Load Bushing 1 3/8 oz - Precision Reloading Component

The Hornady Field Load Bushing 1 3/8 oz is a precision reloading component designed for shotshell loaders who want to optimize their trap and skeet loads. If you're working with a Hornady shotshell reloader and need to dial in consistent patterns and velocities for clay shooting, this bushing is engineered to deliver the exact charge weight your setup requires. The 1 3/8 oz capacity is calibrated to ensure you're loading at maximum legal limits for competitive and recreational clay shooting without guesswork.

Shotshell reloading demands precision, and the wrong bushing means either leaving performance on the table or inadvertently exceeding safe pressures. This Hornady bushing compensates specifically for the denser packing behavior of smaller shot sizes—a real consideration when you're trying to maintain uniform patterns across a string of targets. By choosing the correct bushing for your shot weight, you eliminate the trial-and-error of estimating charge depth, which means more consistent velocities and tighter patterns downrange.

Built to integrate seamlessly with Hornady's shotshell reloading systems, this component is essential if you're serious about trap or skeet shooting and want to reload ammunition that meets your specifications every time. Lead shot loads only—keep that in mind when selecting your shot material. This is one of those pieces of reloading equipment where a few dollars invested upfront saves hours of troubleshooting and wasted components down the line.
