The MEC Progressive Stage Lead Shot Charge Bar is a replacement or upgrade component for shotshell reloaders running MEC progressive presses. This charge bar is specifically bored to dispense 1 1/8 oz of lead shot per cycle, making it a direct fit for compatible progressive press stages. If you're already invested in a MEC progressive setup and need to swap charge bars—whether you're changing shot weights between loads or replacing a worn component—this bar gives you the precision metering MEC shooters have relied on for decades.
MEC's charge bars are engineered to work with standard powder bushings, so compatibility depends on your press model and series. The bore is precisely sized to accept these bushings and dispense a consistent charge with each press stroke. Shot charge consistency matters: inconsistent pellet counts lead to erratic patterns and unpredictable performance downrange. MEC has built its reputation on manufacturing reloading equipment that holds tight tolerances and lasts through thousands of cycles, and these charge bars are no exception.
Whether you're a volume reloader working up hunting loads or fine-tuning competition shells, a dedicated charge bar for your target shot weight eliminates the guesswork and fumbling between loads. This 1 1/8 oz bar is a common load for upland hunting and clay shooting, so it's useful kit to have on hand if your progressive press supports multiple charge bars.
