Mec Charge Bar 302-034 -

The Mec Charge Bar 302-034 is a precision shot charging bar designed for reloaders who demand consistency and reliability in shotshell production. Purpose-built for MEC single-stage loaders, this component automates the metering of lead shot during the reloading cycle, eliminating manual guesswork and ensuring uniform pellet charges across every round. Shotshell reloaders—from competitive trap and skeet shooters to hunters—rely on charge bars to maintain tight velocity and pattern consistency essential for competitive performance and field success.

This charge bar is engineered to drop exactly 3/4 ounce of lead shot with each machine cycle, providing the precise volume control critical for reproducible ballistics. The integrated soft insert is a key design feature that prevents pellet shearing—the fracturing and deformation of shot that degrades pattern uniformity and reduces downrange energy. By cushioning the drop and controlling impact force, the soft insert preserves pellet integrity, which directly translates to tighter shot patterns and more predictable performance in the field. The compact 6.4-inch bar design integrates seamlessly into the MEC loader's shot drop mechanism.

Reloaders operating any MEC single-stage shotshell press will find the Mec Charge Bar 302-034 an essential replacement or upgrade component. Whether you're loading target loads for clay sports or hunting ammunition, accurate shot metering is non-negotiable for efficiency and performance. This bar accommodates standard lead shot and works with typical 12-gauge and 20-gauge loading sequences, making it a versatile choice for high-volume reloading operations. Regular inspection and replacement of charge bars as wear accumulates ensures your loader maintains the precision your ammunition demands.
