MEC Outdoors #23 Powder Bushing for Reloading Presses

The MEC Outdoors #23 powder bushing is a precision reloading press accessory built for shooters who demand consistency across high-volume ammunition production. Made from aluminum, this replacement bushing integrates with both progressive and single-stage charge bars—giving you flexibility whether you're running a dedicated rifle load or cycling through multiple calibers in a single session. MEC's engineering focuses on tight tolerances and repeatability, so you're not just swapping a part; you're maintaining the accuracy your loads depend on.

Powder bushings wear over time, especially in high-round-count operations. A fresh #23 bushing restores metering precision and helps eliminate charge-weight drift that can creep in after thousands of cycles. This size covers a broad range of powders and load profiles, making it a smart spare to keep in your reloading bench drawer. MEC backs their components with the kind of quality control you'd expect from a manufacturer that's built a global reputation on getting the details right—even in a small part like this.

Whether you're a competitive shooter refreshing wear components, a hunter who reloads dozens of rounds between seasons, or a high-volume handloader maintaining your press, the #23 bushing is a straightforward, reliable upgrade that pays for itself the first time it prevents a batch of out-of-spec loads.
