Why Brass Washers Matter in Reloading Equipment
In reloading presses, washers often serve critical roles even though they’re easy to overlook. Depending on where they’re used, washers can:
Provide proper spacing between components
Help distribute fastener pressure evenly
Reduce galling or wear at contact points
Support smoother movement in pivoting or rotating areas
Maintain consistent alignment where tight tolerances matter
When a washer wears down, cracks, or goes missing during service, it can lead to changes in how a press feels and cycles—especially over time and under high use.
Brass Construction for Practical Wear Characteristics
This part is listed as a brass washer, and brass is commonly used in mechanical applications where smooth contact, corrosion resistance, and predictable wear can be beneficial. In press maintenance contexts, brass washers are often chosen because they can:
Offer a consistent bearing surface
Resist rust in typical bench environments
Provide stable spacing without deforming easily under normal use
Replace like-for-like factory-spec components when servicing MEC equipment
2 Washers per Package: Convenient Spares for the Bench
This product includes two washers per package, which is ideal for:
Replacing one washer now and keeping one as a spare
Servicing a paired location that uses washers on both sides
Maintaining a small inventory of commonly needed parts
Avoiding downtime if a washer is lost during cleaning or teardown
Reloaders who like to keep presses running year-round often keep small wear parts like washers in a labeled bin so they can make quick repairs without stopping a session.
Replacement Part for MEC Reloading Equipment (Verify Fit)
This item is listed as a replacement part for MEC systems. Because MEC produces multiple models and variations, fit and placement can differ by press model and revision. For best results:
Confirm the washer is specified for your exact MEC press and assembly point
Cross-check Part 304W against your manual or parts diagram
Follow safe bench procedures for disassembly and reassembly
Perform a function check after installation per manufacturer guidance
If you’re unsure where the washer belongs or how it affects adjustment, consulting your press manual is the safest and most reliable approach.
Great for Preventive Maintenance and Hardware Refresh
Washers are a common part of periodic service—especially when you’re:
Deep-cleaning your press after high volume loading
Replacing worn fasteners or springs
Addressing changes in press feel or alignment
Rebuilding a press to factory-like condition
A simple washer replacement can help restore proper spacing and reduce unintended movement that builds up after long-term use.
