The MEC 5017 Powder Bushing #17 is a precision-engineered aluminum component built for shotshell reloaders who demand accuracy and reliability across high-volume loading sessions. This replacement bushing is manufactured by MEC-Gar USA, a brand known for strict quality control and attention to the details that matter when you're processing hundreds or thousands of rounds. If you're running a progressive or single-stage press, having the right powder bushing on hand—or stocked as a spare—keeps your reloading operation moving without interruption.
Aluminum construction keeps the bushing lightweight while maintaining the precision tolerances needed for consistent powder charges. The #17 size is engineered for specific load combinations, and MEC offers the full range of powder bushings to match different powders and shot charges. Whether you're a high-volume competition loader or a hunter who processes shells year-round, a properly sized bushing is one of those small investments that prevents downtime when wear or damage occurs.
MEC's reputation in the reloading community rests on exactly this kind of engineering—precision in every component, no shortcuts in quality control. The 5017 bushing reflects that same commitment, delivering the consistency and durability serious reloaders expect from their equipment.
