Mec Reloading 11/16Oz Lead Shot Charge Bar
If you load shotshells on a MEC progressive or single-stage press, the MEC Reloading 11/16 Oz Lead Shot Charge Bar gives you the flexibility to dial in exactly the payload your loads demand. This interchangeable charge bar swaps in place of your press's factory bar, letting you customize shot charges to match your specific reloading recipe—whether you're working up target loads, hunting rounds, or experimenting with different pellet counts and patterns.
Lead shot charge bars are sized by weight, and this 11/16 ounce bar is calibrated to meter that specific charge consistently with each stroke. Because MEC presses are modular by design, having the right charge bar on hand means you can transition between different load configurations without replacing the entire mechanism—a real time-saver if you're running multiple shot weights or gauges through the same press.
This is genuine MEC equipment, designed to work seamlessly with MEC progressive and single-stage presses. If you're serious about shotshell consistency and repeatability, swapping charge bars is far simpler than adjusting and re-testing your press settings each time you want to change payload. Keep a few bars in your reloading bench drawer, and you'll spend more time at the loading table and less time fiddling with setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this charge bar fit my MEC reloading press?
Yes—this bar is designed as an interchangeable accessory for MEC progressive and single-stage shotshell presses and replaces the charge bar that comes with your press.
What's the difference between this and the factory charge bar?
The factory bar meters a different shot weight. This 11/16 ounce bar allows you to load that specific charge weight; swap it in when you want to run that particular load, and swap your original bar back when you return to your standard recipe.
Can I use this for steel shot?
No—this is a lead shot charge bar. MEC offers steel shot bars as a special order item; contact MEC directly for steel shot options.
