Hornady Powder Bushings, .447

The Hornady Powder Bushings, .447 are precision metering components engineered for reloaders who demand consistency and accuracy in ammunition assembly. These bushings serve as critical sizing tools in progressive and single-stage reloading presses, allowing shooters to achieve uniform powder charges across every round produced. Whether you're handloading for competition, hunting, or precision rifle applications, proper powder metering directly impacts velocity consistency, shot grouping, and overall ballistic performance—making quality bushings essential to your reloading workflow.

The .447 specification designates the bushing's internal diameter, which meters powder by volume through a carefully calibrated cavity. Hornady manufactures these bushings from hardened steel to withstand repeated cycling and maintain dimensional stability over thousands of rounds. The precision fit into standard Hornady powder measure equipment ensures minimal powder scatter and waste, while the bushing's geometry promotes smooth powder flow without bridging or inconsistent drops. This design philosophy reduces operator fatigue and eliminates the need for manual charge verification on every single cartridge, streamlining the reloading process without sacrificing quality.

Reloaders working with magnum rifle cartridges, pistol rounds, and specialty calibers will find the .447 bushing ideal for medium to heavy powder charges. This size accommodates powders ranging from medium-burn to slow-burn varieties, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of reloading applications. The bushing installs directly into Hornady's powder measure body—no gunsmithing required—and replacement takes seconds when switching between different powder types or charge weights. Ensure your powder measure is compatible with Hornady bushings before purchase; this bushing works seamlessly with all standard Hornady reloading equipment platforms.
