Hornady Shot Bushing #8 – 1 oz for 366 Shotshell Reloader
The Hornady Shot Bushing #8 is a precision-made shot charge bushing calibrated to meter a 1 oz charge of lead shot for the Hornady 366 Auto shotshell reloading press and all other Hornady shotshell reloaders. It fits into the shot hopper assembly and controls the volume of shot delivered into each hull during each press cycle, eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent, repeatable charges.
Hornady uses a reference number system for its shot bushings rather than pellet size. The #8 designation refers to this specific 1 oz bushing. It is calibrated to deliver the maximum legal shot charge for trap and skeet competition, helping reloaders stay within regulatory limits without needing to weigh each charge.
Compatible with all Hornady shotshell reloaders that use the standard hopper system.
