    #4 shot

    When loading #4 shot which size shot bushing in a Rcbs shotgun reloading press do you use? I have the bushings for #6 shot but got thinking is there a different size when using #4 shot. So I came to the experts
    press is a mini grand uses the same parts as the grand press.
    thanks

    There is a slight difference in weight with different shot sizes but not enough to worry about. If you are anal, you can file a bit out to get the weight you want. I find most bushings throw a little light but I use high antimony shot so it will not be as dense to start with.

    Bushings are cheap and I buy them when they are on sale and modify them as needed. Just be sure to engrave or mark it for future reference - or you will wind up modifying another one - LOL

    thank you that is what I was hoping but couldn't find anything in print. So I will use them as marked and if they are a little light or heavy I don't have to worry now.
