If you're reloading shotgun shells with steel shot on a single-stage press, a properly sized charge bar makes the difference between consistent loads and frustrating trial-and-error sessions. The Mec Reloading 1Oz #3–#6 Shot Single Stage Steel Shot Charge Bar is a precision-machined steel component designed to meter steel shot pellets in 1-ounce increments—a common load weight for waterfowl and upland hunting. Unlike powder measures that can drift or bind with harder steel pellets, a dedicated shot charge bar ensures repeatable shot charges, which directly affects pattern density and ballistics from shell to shell.
This bar handles the smaller shot sizes most reloaders reach for: #3, #4, #5, and #6. Whether you're working with steel for regulatory compliance in waterfowl zones or simply prefer steel for its hardness and pattern characteristics, a properly matched charge bar takes guesswork out of shot weight. Steel shot is unforgiving when it comes to inconsistency—too light and you lose energy downrange; too heavy and you risk over-pressuring your shells or damaging your gun's chokes. A dedicated, calibrated bar keeps every load within the window.
Installation is straightforward on compatible Mec single-stage presses. If you've been borrowing or improvising with lead-shot bars, upgrading to a steel-specific charge bar is a small investment that pays dividends in load consistency and confidence at the range or in the field.
This bar is designed for Mec single-stage presses. Confirm your press model is compatible before ordering; not all Mec models accept interchangeable charge bars.
This bar is specifically calibrated and designed for steel shot. Lead shot has different density and flow characteristics, so use a lead-shot charge bar for lead loads to ensure accurate metering.
This charge bar is calibrated for #3, #4, #5, and #6 steel shot sizes.
