Mec Reloading 1-1/4Oz Lead Shot Charge Bar

The MEC Reloading 1-1/4 oz lead shot charge bar is a replacement component for shotshell reloaders looking to fine-tune their loads. Whether you're loading for hunting, sport shooting, or target work, this charge bar lets you dial in the exact shot payload you need without swapping presses. It's designed as a direct interchange with the charge bar that comes standard on MEC progressive and single-stage presses, making it a straightforward upgrade or backup.

Lead shot bars are the conventional choice for most shotshell reloading, and this 1-1/4 oz capacity suits a range of common gauges and hunting applications. If you reload multiple load recipes—say, one for upland birds and another for waterfowl or clays—having dedicated charge bars eliminates the need to recalibrate your press every time you switch payloads. That's real efficiency on the reloading bench.

MEC has been the go-to name in shotshell reloading equipment for decades, and their charge bars are built to the same exacting tolerances as the presses themselves. If you already own an MEC press, you already know the quality standard. This bar simply extends that capability.
