Hornady Pistol Powder Measure Bushing sizes

[Wayne Smith]

No matter the hole size, each powder will measure differently. Make a chart for each hole size you use and the amount of that powder that is measured. Both powder shape and powder density will vary and each powder is unique.

I think ( dealing with 74 year old mind here ) so beware. I have come up with a way of making these that would be economical. I wonder if they would sell to the average Joe for 4-5 dollars a pop. I know myself I would gladly pay that sum to get the 5 or 6 sizes I need/want. Would be aluminum not brass.

I had an entire set of bushings for mine. But they disappeared in a long ago move. Have tried many powder dispensers since then. None of them have out performed my little Pacific. Don't know how many times over the years. I went to pitch it and just couldn't do it.

In my previous post above, the most economical thing was the widgetco bushings I found. I then chucked them in a lathe and bored them out. so I made me a "set" so to speak. 1/64 increments I think.

Hello:
theres a fellow on ebay going by the sellers name markbeadle that is now making all the pacific hornady pistol bushings.
These are the 1/2 inch tall by 1/2 wide ones used in the pistol measures slide bar.
Search markbeadle on ebay as the seller to see them.
I personally was involved with the testing and after revision three it was perfect end product.
These will perform as well if not out perform the original factory bushings and will match up to the factory powder drop charts .
He has sold some already recently.

Thanks for the tip, Eric.

Also FWIW Lowes has a nylon part in the parts drawers in the hardware aisle that can be used to make a bushing if you are so inclined. I think it is intended as a standoff maybe. I had a slide for a Star loader that was cut to fit the Hornady bushings.

I think these are the ones I used, I liked the 1" length because they could be gripped in the lathe chuck, bored to size, then parted off with a cutoff blade.
