MEC 600 Powder bushings wrong size?

[glassparman]

I picked up a used MEC 600 at a yard sale sometime back. It had all the standard bushings for powder and shot. But it also had an extra set of powder and shot bushings that the external diameter is 3/4 of an inch where the normal ones are 0.810.

do these bushings belong to a different type or size of press? They look just like normal Texan bushings, just smaller OD.

Hmmmm....the bushings are only for powder, not shot unless you have an adjustable bar? I that case bushings are not needed at all.
Sounds like you do have another set of bushings that fit a different brand as all of the MEC bushings are the same.
They should have a shoulder at one end and be labeled in the center exterior with the number.
The bushings MUST sit flat/flush with the top of the bar or powder will leak through when the bar is moved side x side.
You should be able to make some decent rounds with that machine, they've been in use for many years.

Anything written on the bushings? Maybe Hornady or if there are letter/number stamps on the top - PW

Post pics would be helpful if you want better answers.
