I guess the best places to buy them are places that have them both for sale and in stock. Have you tried doing a search for them? I did and found some at Optics Planet. You might have to order from different places depending on inventory until you accumulate the selection you need. Also, don't overlook the 3D printed bushings.

 

Thanks Denny

 

Bought many direct from Hornady, Midway, EBay. Plenty of sellers on EBay have the entire set 3Dprinted for about the same price as 10 metal bushings.

 

Thanks

Hornady, MidwayUSA and eBay have always had what I've needed.

 

Thanks

I don’t like the 3D printed bushings as much as the aluminum ones. They are rougher and so not drop as consistently as the metal ones. That goes for the red ones I bought. I see another seller has them in grey which seem slightly smoother finished. Buy a few and try them before you buy a set.

 

Amazon has them.

 

I bought the conversion bushing which allows me to use MEC bushings in the Hornady machine.

 

Same on the conversion bushings, to use Mecs. Ebay. The red ones or the black ones fit fine. Maybe could get funky with really fine grain powder, but my use of 296/H110 so far has been acceptable. Worth a try to supplement the Hornady bushings. OT, but also useable for Texan or Herters 7/8" shot bushing size, use Mec bushings up to 1 1/16 (+-) shot drop. Useful for those odd Texan or Herters progressive presses in liew of hunting up real T or H shot bushings.

 

Precision reloading has them. Very reasonable and good service. I got them in a few days.

 

try Hornady's own website.

 

I printed my mecs maybe go that route if have printer ir someone does

 

Anytime I order something from midway and am a few bucks short of free shipping I add bushings.lol

 

Fyi, to all, Hornady powder bushings are 7/8" in diameter. Same as Pacific, Bair, Ponsness-Warren, RCBS and Spolar, the latter which I never saw. Shot bushings are just shy of 1" diameter. All interchangeable. Hornady (and Pacific) use an "inch" measurement as a size size, #444 has a .444 inch hole for powder in the bushing. ALL others use a kind of "code" which can be somewhat useless to your task. Adapters of 7/8", either of aluminum or 3D printed let you use Mec powder bushings in Hornady, Pacific, Bair, P-W, RCBS or spolar presses. Texan uses about .805" powder bushings, Herters 3/4", Lyman I can't recall. All these use 7/8" SHOT bushings. Scroungers always carry a caliper.

 

I bought 2 mec bushings and aluminum adapted. I think between the 2 hornady 336 and 330 and the 17 and 18 mec I will get close to the 16.6 high gun I'm looking for in my 366 hornady loader.

Thanks all to your input.

No problemo. Always ask. Somebody will come up with something for folks. A not too terribly accurate Mec bushing chart to get you in the ballpark.
