Mec bushing oragnization
 
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?

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.
