POWDER BUSHING
CHART and Charge Bar Selection Information
This brochure is meant to supply you with the information needed to select the right bar and bushing insert to safely load the shotshell of your choice. The MEC charge bar determines the amount of shot that will be dropped and the MEC bushing determines the amount of powder. The ratio for powder is determined by the recipe you select and the brand name powder you wish to use.
WARNING! The use of an accurate scale is strongly recommended with the use of this powder bushing chart. Many things can cause a variation from the weight listed on the chart. They include but are not limited to: #1 Powder density. The manufacturers tolerance can cause a slight variation from the weight shown on the chart, and may even vary from lot to lot. #2 Individual operators give varying amounts of vibration to the machine causing the powder to pack. All loads should be checked during the actual reloading cycle. Do not just throw a powder charge and expect it to be the same as during the reloading cycle. Even the amount of powder in the reloader’s bottle may cause a slight variance. #3 Powder exposed to the atmosphere can pick up moisture and weigh heavy. #4 The larger the flake size, the lighter the charge tends to be. #5 A machine that is not solidly mounted will usually not throw charges as uniform as one that is. #6 Single stage machines will usually throw heavier charges than progressive reloading machines.
the bushing chart does not represent recommended weights of charge. it is intended as a guide only to show the relationship of the volumetric capacity to the various bushings.
