The MEC Outdoors 5016 Powder Bushing Size #16 is a precision reloading component designed for shooters who load ammunition in high volume. Built from aluminum, this powder bushing pairs with MEC's progressive and single-stage charge bars to meter powder charges accurately and consistently. Size #16 is engineered for specific powder types and charge weights, making it essential to match the correct bushing to your load data and powder choice.
If you're running a dedicated reloading bench and shooting enough to justify high-volume sessions, having the right powder bushings on hand means less downtime swapping components between cartridge changes. MEC manufactures these bushings to tight tolerances—even a small metering component gets precision engineering and quality-control scrutiny. That attention translates to reliable, repeatable powder charges, which is the foundation of accurate ammunition.
The bushing is a wear item: as you run thousands of rounds through a progressive press, the bushing itself will eventually need replacement to maintain charge consistency. Stocking a spare or two of the right size #16 in your reloading supplies keeps you loading when you need to. Compatibility depends on your specific MEC press model and charge bar design, so confirm your system accepts this bushing before ordering.

Yes, this bushing is designed to work with both MEC progressive and single-stage charge bars, offering flexibility across different reloading setups.
Powder bushings are wear items that degrade with use, especially in high-volume reloading. When you notice inconsistent powder drops or charge variation, it's time to replace it. Keeping spares on hand ensures you can swap quickly and keep loading.
Yes. If you reload regularly or in high volume, having replacement bushings in your supplies is smart maintenance. The bushing meters powder all day, and eventually it will need replacing to maintain the precision your ammunition deserves.
