The MEC Reloading 1-1/2 oz lead shot charge bar is a straightforward replacement component for shotshell reloaders who want to dial in precise shot charges on their progressive or single-stage press. If you're handloading shotgun ammunition and need to swap out your existing charge bar to switch load weights or fine-tune your loads, this bar lets you do exactly that—it's a direct interchange with the charge bar that came stock on your MEC press. Lead shot remains the standard for most shotgun applications, and having the right charge bar on hand means you can experiment with different payloads without swapping presses or waiting for special orders.
MEC charge bars are built around the idea that reloaders shouldn't be locked into a single configuration. Whether you're working up loads for hunting, sport shooting, or practice, the ability to adjust your shot charge is fundamental. This 1-1/2 oz bar gives you a fixed charge weight that's common for upland and general-purpose loads, and it installs the same way as the original—no gunsmithing required. If you run multiple progressive presses or hand off a press to another reloader, having interchangeable charge bars means you're not stuck repeating the same load across every setup.
Keep in mind that MEC also offers steel shot charge bars by special order if you need to load steel for waterfowl or other applications where lead isn't permitted. This particular bar is designed for lead shot only, so verify your local regulations and intended use before ordering.

Yes—this bar is designed as a direct interchange with the charge bar that comes standard on MEC single-stage and progressive shotshell presses. If you already own an MEC reloader, this bar will fit without modification.
No, this bar is designed for lead shot only. MEC does offer steel shot charge bars, but those must be ordered separately by special request.
This charge bar is fixed at 1-1/2 oz capacity for each shotshell.
Different loads call for different shot charges—upland hunting loads, sport clays, and practice ammo often use varying weights. Swapping charge bars lets you switch between load configurations on the same press without having to adjust and re-test repeatedly.
