Mec Powder Bushing #28 -

The MEC Powder Bushing #28 is a precision metering component designed for reloaders who demand accuracy and consistency in ammunition assembly. This hardened steel bushing serves as the core of any single-stage or progressive reloading press's powder charging system, regulating the exact volume of propellant dispensed into each cartridge case. Whether you're handloading rifle or pistol ammunition for match competition, hunting, or general practice, the correct powder bushing size is non-negotiable—it directly controls charge weight consistency and, consequently, velocity and group size at the range.

The #28 bushing accommodates a specific powder charge volume as defined by MEC's standardized bushing chart, ensuring repeatable results across every round you load. MEC's powder bushing system uses a rotating drum or disk with multiple cavity options, allowing reloaders to dial in precise volumetric charges for different powders and calibers. The bushing's cylindrical bore is manufactured to tight tolerances, preventing powder bridging or inconsistent metering that would compromise load uniformity. Users must consult MEC's official Powder Bushing Chart and Charge Bar Selection guide to confirm the #28 is the correct size for their specific powder type and desired charge weight—this reference document is essential for safe, accurate reloading.

Serious reloaders and competitive shooters rely on MEC powder bushings to maintain batch-to-batch consistency that factory ammunition cannot match. The #28 is compatible with MEC's full line of reloading presses—including the Sizemaster, Greenhawk, 8567 Grabber, and Star series progressives—making it an essential inventory item for anyone with multiple reloading setups or those transitioning between powder types. Keep a selection of bushings on hand so you can swap quickly without disassembling your press, saving time during load development or when switching between rifle calibers and powders with different burn rates.
