MEC Outdoors 5017 Powder Bushing Size #17 - Reloading Component

The MEC Outdoors 5017 Powder Bushing Size #17 delivers consistent powder charges for precise shotshell reloading. This precision-machined bushing ensures uniform powder drops, reducing charge variations that can affect pattern consistency and velocity.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic powder bushings that can vary in tolerances, the MEC 5017 features precision-bored dimensions that maintain consistent powder flow rates. The hardened steel construction resists wear from abrasive powders, while the smooth interior finish prevents powder bridging. Size #17 drops approximately 18.5 grains of common shotgun powders, making it ideal for light target loads and specific hunting applications.

Key Features

• Precision-machined hardened steel construction for consistent powder drops
• Size #17 specification drops approximately 18.5 grains of standard powders
• Compatible with MEC progressive and single-stage shotshell presses
• Smooth interior bore finish prevents powder bridging and hang-ups
• Heat-treated steel resists wear from abrasive powder particles
• Easy installation and removal for quick powder charge changes
• Factory-tested dimensions ensure accurate charge weights

Reloaders working with light 12-gauge target loads or specific 20-gauge hunting loads benefit from the consistent charges this bushing provides. The precise bore diameter eliminates the guesswork in powder measurement, while the durable construction maintains accuracy through thousands of loading cycles. Competition shooters particularly value the charge-to-charge consistency that translates to more uniform patterns and velocities.
