    Okay. Quick question........ I wanted to change the bushing in my MEC reloader. When I pulled the bar out, the brass ring fell out onto the table. It has been a while since I changed the bushing. Where des the brass ring go? Under the shot bottle? And the tips point up toward the bottle? Or do the tips point down against the charge bar? Thanks so much.

    The brass ring goes under the powder bottle. Bushing, brass ring, rubber washer, bottle.

    Get yourself new brass washers & rubber seals once in a while. They are much better than the old, hard seals !
