The Hornady 1-1/8oz #9 Shot Bushing (MPN: 190102) is a precision-machined aluminium alloy shotshell reloading component designed for Hornady charge bars. Engineered specifically for volumetric accuracy, this non-powered mechanical drop bushing measures an exact 1-1/8 oz (approximately 31.89 g) payload when dispensing #9 lead shot. Its internal cavity dimensions are calibrated to account for the tight interstitial packing and settling density unique to small #9 lead pellets, ensuring uniform charge throws on compatible reloading benches.

Key Features

• Dedicated Volumetric Calibration: Throws a uniform 1-1/8 oz (31.89 g) charge of #9 lead shot per drop cycle.
• Small-Shot Density Compensation: Machined cavity accounts for the specific settling and packing behaviour of fine #9 shot to eliminate payload variance.
• Durable Machined Construction: Fabricated from lightweight aluminium alloy, weighing approximately 0.06 lbs (27 g).
• Hornady Press Integration: Drops directly into standard charge bars on Hornady shotshell reloaders, including the Hornady 366 Auto and APEX series presses.

Who is the Hornady 1-1/8oz #9 Shot Bushing for?

• Competitive clay target shooters — loading high-volume 12-gauge ammunition for skeet and close-range trap requires this shotshell reload shot bushing to meter an exact 1-1/8 oz payload of dense #9 lead pellets for consistent target breaks.
• Recreational reloaders — operating Hornady 366 Auto or APEX presses need the calibrated volumetric internal cavity to throw true 1-1/8 oz charges of small #9 shot without manually weighing interstitial packing densities.

Less suitable for: Loaders using steel or non-toxic shot types, as the lower density creates bridging risks requiring dedicated steel shot bushings; shooters using larger shot sizes like #7-1/2 or #8, which produce underweight charges and require a separate shot bushing calibrated for larger void ratios; and reloaders using non-Hornady charge bars, who require brand-specific charge bars or press-specific adapters.
