WTB: Pacific/Hornady pistol measure bushings

[JustJim]

I'm looking for the brass bushings for the pistol powder measure made by Pacific/Bair/Hornady. The bushings measure 1/2" diameter and 1/2" long, and are usually numbered on the side.

Thanks,
Jim

the numbers on the side correspond to a drill number.

I always thought they corresponded to the grains of Bullseye powder?

i think across the board they use the number.
I know the S-Shell bushings I have are numbered to the hole size,,,, ie #496 is .496
I never thought about it dropping like 18grs of red-dot and 496grs of bulls-eye.... LOL

anyway my post was simply to point out that if worse come to worst it would be a pretty simple matter to have some rod [10' worth] chopped to length and then drilled at home.
or to purchase 20 of the smallest ones available and drilled to size as needed.
