MEC Progressive Skeet Special Charge Bar #502SS

MEC Charge Bars accommodate MEC Powder Bushings and they regulate the amount of shot that is dropped with a volumetric measurement. Skeet Special charge bars are specifically sized to drop #9 shot for competition skeet loads.

MEC makes six different charge bar series for different machines and shot types:

• Single-Stage Lead Shot Charge Bars
• Single-Stage Lead Shot Skeet Special Charge Bars
• Single-Stage Steel Shot Charge Bars
• Progressive Lead Shot Charge Bars  
• Progressive Lead Shot Skeet Special Charge Bars
• Progressive Steel Shot Charge Bars

Volumetric Shot Drops: Charge Bars drop shot by volume and not by weight. Therefore, the weights listed on the bar are only a guideline; it does not guarantee what weight will actually drop. This is because the density and size of different pellets can and do vary. Therefore, it is essential that you check the actual weight of the shot that is dropped with a reliable powder scale, such as the BallistiScale Max . After checking a couple drops, you will know what your bar is dropping.

Additionally, the Skeet Special bars are designed to drop slightly under the ounces listed on the bar so the shooter does not exceed the legal load amount for competition and is NSSA-compliant. Skeet Special bars were calibrated with chilled lead shot pellets, if you use magnum lead shot pellets the charge will be lighter still.
