Mec Reloading 1Oz Bb-#2 Steel Shot Charge Bar
The Mec Reloading 1Oz BB-#2 Steel Shot Charge Bar is a drop-in accessory for reloaders working with steel shot loads on Mec single stage presses. If you're loading shotgun ammunition for waterfowl, upland birds, or clay shooting, this charge bar lets you precisely meter steel shot without swapping components—just rotate to your target charge weight and you're ready to drop.
Steel shot reloading demands accuracy and consistency, especially when you're matching specific gauge and load combinations. This charge bar is engineered to handle the rigors of steel shot, which behaves differently than lead during the charging process. The 1-ounce setting makes it straightforward to load standard waterfowl and upland rounds, and the bar's design works reliably across multiple shooting sessions without drift or wear-related drift.
Unlike buying separate charge bars for each load weight, a single adjustable bar reduces bench clutter and cuts down on setup time between loading sessions. Whether you're working up test loads or producing ammunition for the season, this accessory keeps your reloading efficient and repeatable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this charge bar work with my Mec single stage press?
Yes—this bar is designed as a direct accessory for Mec single stage reloading presses. Verify your press model matches the Mec single stage platform before ordering.
Can I load different shot sizes with this bar?
This charge bar is calibrated for BB and #2 steel shot sizes. Other shot sizes may not meter consistently and are not recommended with this bar.
What's the difference between this and a lead shot charge bar?
Steel shot has different density and flow properties than lead, which is why dedicated steel shot charge bars are used. This bar is engineered specifically for those characteristics to ensure accurate, repeatable charges.
What range of loads does this bar cover?
This charge bar is set for 1-ounce loads. If you need flexibility across a wider range of charge weights (7/8 oz. to 1-1/2 oz.), you may want to check availability of adjustable charge bars that cover multiple settings.
