MEC Progressive Steel Shot Bar #502S*

MEC Charge Bars accommodate MEC Powder Bushings and they regulate the amount of steel shot that is dropped with a volumetric measurement. Note that MEC steel shot charge bars also vary by shot size.

Progressive Steel Shot Kit: If your reloader is not set up to load steel shot, you may need the MEC Progressive Steel Shot Kit.

MEC makes six different charge bar series for different machines & 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-1500. After checking a couple drops, you will know what your bar is dropping.

Curmudgeon's Loading Tips:

The Universal Charge Bar is an alternative product that may save you money and storage space. Some people prefer using their bushings with original MEC Charge Bars, while others like the universal adjustability of the Universal Charge Bar.
