Hornady Shot Charge Bushing 1 1/8 oz #9
The Hornady Shot Charge Bushing 1 1/8 oz #9 (item 190102) is a replacement or additional shot-metering bushing for use with all Hornady shotshell reloaders, including the 366 Auto progressive press. Shot charge bushings fit into the shot hopper drop tube and control the volume of lead shot released into each hull on every cycle of the press.
This particular bushing is calibrated to meter a 1 1/8 oz charge and is designed for trap and skeet loads within the maximum legal limits for those disciplines. The #9 designation is Hornady’s own bushing reference number, not a pellet size. Different bushing numbers are available across the shot charge range to suit different load weights; selecting the correct bushing for the intended charge weight is essential for consistent, repeatable shotshell reloading.

I used this bushing for my 366 Auto press and found it very reliable. The shot charge is consistent, and I’ve been able to reload trap shells with accurate weights. It fits perfectly into the hopper tube and doesn’t require any adjustments.

Works well with my skeet loads. I switched from a different brand bushing and noticed a more even shot distribution. The instructions were clear and the product arrived on time.

After trying several bushings, this one gave the most consistent results. I use it regularly for both trap and skeet, and the charge weight matches the expected 1 1/8 oz perfectly.
