The MEC Reloading 1-5/8 oz Lead Shot Charge Bar is a direct replacement component for MEC progressive and single-stage reloading presses. If you're loading shotgun shells and want to adjust your shot payload, this charge bar lets you dial in exactly the charge weight your load recipe calls for. It simply interchanges with the charge bar already in your press—no press modification needed. Lead shot bars like this one are the standard choice for most shotgun reloaders working with traditional lead ammunition.
Shotgun reloaders know that getting the shot charge right is critical: too light and you lose pattern density; too heavy and you either waste shot or risk pressure issues. This charge bar removes the guesswork. Since it's designed to work across MEC's press lineup, you can swap bars quickly if you're running multiple load recipes or if you upgrade your equipment down the road. It's the kind of straightforward, swap-and-go component that keeps your reloading bench efficient.
MEC has been a trusted name in shotshell reloading for decades, and their charge bar design reflects that heritage—simple, reliable, and built to last through thousands of shells. Whether you're loading for upland birds, waterfowl, or clay target shooting, having the right charge bar on hand ensures you can adjust loads without waiting for parts or hunting online.
