Powder bushing chart
I seem to have lost my chart that shows the grains of powder for the various powder bushings. This happens to be a Pacific 155, but I think Hornady and some others are the same.

If anybody has one they could scan and email me it would sure be appreciated.

I would only use that chart as a baseline; you'll always want to measure your actual powder drops and make your own chart. MEC's chart is significantly different than what their bushings actually throw.

I know that the single stage MEC presses throw heavier powder charges than what the charts say, and the progressive presses tend to throw lighter ones.

With a MEC 650 I weighed all of the bushing charges with the powders I was using to get the exact load I wanted.When I switched to a Pacific DL 366 I made a chart of the bushings and powder weights since I was loading Win 540 doing a lot of meat and money shoots with 1 1/8oz of 4's,5's',6's & 7 1/2's in Win AA cases and for backup 1 1/4oz loads with the same shot sizes.
