Yes, shot bushing usually through a charge that is liter than the spec say. The main reason is that the charts are for pure lead shot, or drop shot, and everyone any more loads magum or hardened shot which does not weight as much as the pure lead shot. Not a big deal as shotgun patterens are not as critical as rifle groups. As someone already said, shot size does also efferct pettet count. The easiest way to see is take a look at 1 oz. of lead shot and compaire it to 1 oz. of steel shot. There is a tremindous difference in the volume. It is alot less with pure lead and hardened lead, but there is still a difference in volume. With your shot bushings you are measuring a volume of shot and a weight.
