Mec Reloading 7/8Oz #5-#6 Shot Single Stage Steel Shot Charge Bar
$30.74
If you reload shotgun ammo on a single-stage press, a dedicated steel shot charge bar keeps your loads consistent and your workflow efficient. The Mec Reloading 7/8 oz. #5–#6 shot single stage steel shot charge bar is engineered for reloaders who want to work with steel shot without swapping components. Steel shot demands precision—it's harder and less forgiving than lead, so accurate charge weights matter for pattern density, recoil management, and safe pressure. This charge bar lets you dial in the exact volume you need for your loads.
Steel shot reloading has become standard for waterfowl and upland hunters in many regions, and having dedicated components streamlines your process. Rather than rigging workarounds or managing multiple charge bars, a single-stage reloader with the right steel shot bar will keep your benchtop organized and your hand-loaded ammunition to spec. Mec's reputation in the shotshell reloading space means this bar is built to handle the demands of steel without binding or wearing prematurely.
This bar is compatible with Mec single-stage presses and is calibrated for #5 and #6 shot in the 7/8 oz. range—a popular load for both hunting and sport shooting. If your current workflow relies on a single-stage press and you're moving into steel shot loads, this is the right upgrade. Verify compatibility with your specific press model before ordering.
