What press models are compatible with the Hornady #435 Powder Bushing?

The Hornady #435 Powder Bushing is specifically designed for shotshell progressive presses using Hornady and Pacific charge bars, such as the Hornady 366 Auto and APEX series. It is not compatible with metallic cartridge powder measures like the Hornady Lock-N-Load system or presses using circular bushings like MEC without an aftermarket adapter.

How do I determine the exact powder charge dropped by the #435 bushing?

The #435 bushing features an internal diameter of exactly 0.435 inches, which provides a fixed volumetric capacity. Because powder charge weights vary depending on the specific propellant's bulk density and environmental humidity, you should always verify thrown charges using a calibrated reloading scale before mass production.

Does this powder bushing require any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certification for use in Australian workshops?

No, the Hornady #435 Powder Bushing is an entirely passive mechanical reloading component containing no electrical parts, wiring, or motors. Therefore, 240V mains compatibility and SAA or RCM regulatory approvals do not apply to this product.

Can the #435 powder bushing be accidentally interchanged with a shot bushing during reloading setup?

No, Hornady specifically designs their shot and powder bushings with different external profiles and diameters to prevent them from being accidentally reversed or interchanged within the progressive press charge bar.

Powder Bushing - Hornady 190197

The Hornady #435 Powder Bushing (MPN: 190197) is a dedicated shotshell powder reloading bushing engineered for volumetric propellant dispensing. Machined to drop directly into standard Hornady-pattern progressive charge bars, this non-ferrous component meters consistent powder charges during the reloading cycle. It features a designated internal diameter of 0.435 inches, matching Hornady's direct-measurement numbering standard, and weighs approximately 0.05 lbs (~22.7 grams) for passive, non-powered workshop operation.

Key Features

Fixed Volumetric Metering: Provides a dedicated 0.435-inch inner cavity to throw precise, repeatable volumetric charges for propellants such as Clays (approx. 16.5 grains), 700-X (approx. 17.4 grains), Universal (approx. 19.0 grains), and Winchester 244 (approx. 19.4 grains).
Error-Proof Progressive Tooling: Sized with distinct external powder-bushing dimensions to ensure it cannot be accidentally reversed or interchanged with larger shot bushings inside the charge bar.
Spark-Free Construction: Precision-machined from non-ferrous aluminium alloy to prevent mechanical spark risks when working around loose smokeless propellants.
Direct Progressive Press Fit: Built specifically to drop into Hornady 366 Auto™ and APEX™ progressive charge bars, legacy Pacific DL-series/366 machines, and Spolar presses accepting Hornady-pattern charge bars.

Who is the Hornady #435 Powder Bushing for?

Shotshell reloaders operating Hornady 366 Auto or APEX progressive presses — requires a dedicated shotshell powder reloading bushing featuring an internal diameter of exactly 0.435 inches to seat cleanly into the charge bar and throw calibrated propellant volumes without binding.
Handloaders developing target or hunting shotgun ammunition — relies on a 0.05 lbs machined non-ferrous shotshell powder reloading bushing to safely drop specific weight charges, such as 16.5 grains of Clays or 19.0 grains of Universal, without introducing spark hazards.

Less suitable for: Handloaders operating metallic cartridge bench powder measures or progressive presses using circular sliding bushing systems (such as MEC) without dedicated conversion adapters; these setups require rotary powder drums or press-specific circular powder bushings instead.
