Mec Reloading 1-1/4Oz #3-#6 Shot Single Stage Steel Shot Charge Bar
$30.74
The Mec Reloading 1-1/4 oz. #3–#6 shot single stage steel shot charge bar is a precision metering component built for handloaders who work with modern steel shot on single stage presses. If you're loading shotshell ammunition for waterfowl, upland game, or clay shooting—especially with steel shot loads—this charge bar gives you the exact shot column weight your loads demand. It's a straightforward, mechanical solution: drop it into your single stage press and meter consistent shot charges without guesswork or electronic scales slowing you down.
Steel shot has different ballistics and density than lead, which means your loads need precise metering to pattern predictably and perform safely. This charge bar handles shot sizes from #3 down through #6, covering the most common steel shot configurations for hunting and sport shooting. At 1-1/4 oz., it's sized for mid-range duck and goose loads, but it's part of a series that covers the full spectrum from 7/8 oz. all the way to 1-1/2 oz.—so if your recipe calls for something different, Mec offers the right bar for the job.
Single stage reloaders know the value of simplicity and repeatability. This charge bar is that in its purest form: no batteries, no complicated calibration, just drop-and-meter reliability. It's a small tool with a big job—making sure every round leaves your press with the same shot load as the last one, shot after shot, case after case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shot sizes work with this 1-1/4 oz. charge bar?
This bar is calibrated for steel shot in sizes #3, #4, #5, and #6—the standard range for modern waterfowl and upland hunting loads.
Can I use this on a progressive press?
No. This charge bar is designed specifically for single stage presses. Progressive press setups use different metering components.
Will this work with lead shot?
This bar is engineered for steel shot metering. Lead shot has different density and flow characteristics, so using it with lead may not produce accurate charges. Consult your press manual or Mec for lead-shot-compatible options.
What if I need a different shot weight?
Mec offers charge bars across the range from 7/8 oz. to 1-1/2 oz. If your loads call for a lighter or heavier charge, you can swap in the appropriate bar for your recipe.
