The MEC Powder Bushing #38A Size is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability across high-volume ammunition production. Whether you're running competitive loads, tactical training rounds, or duty ammunition, this aluminum bushing delivers the metering accuracy that separates quality handloads from marginal ones. Designed by Mayville Engineering Co.—a trusted name in progressive and single-stage reloading equipment—this replacement part is essential for any serious reloader's spare parts inventory.
Machined from aluminum for lightweight durability and corrosion resistance, the #38A bushing integrates seamlessly with both progressive and single-stage charge bars to provide precise powder dispensing across a wide range of loads and calibers. The #38A designation indicates this bushing is engineered for specific powder charge weights, ensuring volumetric consistency that translates directly to velocity uniformity and shot-to-shot accuracy. Its compact design—measuring just 3.35 x 1.3 x 3.45 inches and weighing a mere 0.02 lbs—allows for quick swaps between different load profiles without requiring complete press teardown or adjustment calibration.
This bushing is indispensable for reloaders who rotate between multiple calibers or load specifications, particularly those running high-volume sessions where wear on charge bar components accelerates. Law enforcement and military armorers appreciate having spare bushings on hand to maintain uptime during ammunition production cycles. The #38A works directly with MEC's ecosystem of progressive presses and single-stage equipment, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement when your existing bushing shows wear or you need to configure for a different powder load.
