Mec bushing oragnization

[Tim midkiff]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a creative solution for holding storing and organizing my collection of mec powder bushings. I don’t really want to throw into a box to be misplaced, or buy the small rack MEC sells.

Ideas???

Thx Bro Tim

made me a " peg board" with 4 penny finish nails with all bushing numbers listed under each nail. Just hang board on the wall and put bushing on the nails. Works great !

Took an old 1 x 2 ,drilled holes in the thin side, fitted dowels in the holes, and wrote the bushing numbers on the long side

I bought the MEC bushing holders (3 of them) and hang my bushings on them. I also fill the bushing number engravings on the bushings with a red "paste" so I can see the bushing sizes easily, especially through the window in the press. Beats having to pull the bushing to check what size you're using.

I write the bushing size in a piece of tape, and stick it on the front of the powder chamber

When I reloaded I put all my bushings (12 of them) on a single hardwood dowel with small document clips at either end. I wrote the bushing # on the side of each with bright marker for easy ID on the rod. Kept all in one place easily visible and stored upright and out of the way like a cleaning rod on a rack.

I don't see any comments about the Mec adjustable bars? Do you all use that many different bushings to save time in adjustments?

[Matt Buckley]

I have the adjustable charge bar and don't mess with any bushings. I love it. Well worth the money in my opinion.

What Matt said.

Sewing machine thread rack. Works great. Adjustable bar works great if you always go from small to larger cavity. It takes out the slack, then lock it down.

Thru accumulating stuff I have multiples of many of the bushings and have I’d say around a hundred . One of the bunches of crap I accumulated had bushings and MEC parts in a Plano flat tackle box . I’ve found that tackle box works pretty well but I don’t have them organized in the least .

I have one of the adjustables on the 12 and the 20, I only do one load for the 16ga and the 10ga so the bushing organization technique for them is - don't take it out and lose it

These were all great suggestions folks! Outside of those factory MEC racks I really liked the idea of using the sewing thread rack. Thanks everyone.

The missing ones are in my machines, which I mark as to the busing in it.

Now that’s a good idea!!!
