Overview
This powder bushing is intended for reloaders using MEC charge bars designed for interchangeable bushings, where selecting the correct size is part of setting up a consistent load. It is a straightforward component for those maintaining or adjusting their reloading setup. Because proper selection depends on the bushing chart, it should be matched carefully before use. Reloading manual data or the powder manufacturer’s load information should be consulted to confirm the appropriate application.
