Mec Charge Bar 302-1116 -

The MEC Charge Bar 302-1116 is a precision shot charge bar designed for reloaders who demand consistency and reliability in shotshell production. Built specifically for MEC single-stage loaders, this charge bar automates the critical metering function, eliminating manual volume measurement and reducing shot-to-shot variation. Whether you're a competitive clay shooter, hunter, or high-volume handloader, this component ensures repeatable powder and shot charges that directly impact pattern consistency and ballistic performance downrange.

The 302-1116 charge bar is engineered with a soft insert designed to eliminate shearing of lead shot during the drop cycle—a common problem that degrades pellet aerodynamics and creates fines that compromise pattern density. The bar meters precisely 11/16 ounce (0.6 oz) of lead shot per cycle, meeting standard 12-gauge and 20-gauge specification requirements for field and clay loads. This mechanical precision eliminates human error in charge measurement, allowing reloaders to focus on case prep, primer seating, and quality inspection while maintaining shot charge tolerance within ±0.1 oz—critical for competitive and commercial operations.

Reloaders using MEC 600 Junior, 8567 Grabber, or other MEC single-stage press platforms will find the 302-1116 drop-in compatible with standard receiver indexing. The compact 6.4-inch profile fits seamlessly into existing press setups without requiring frame modifications. High-volume loaders, trap and skeet competitors, and those seeking to maximize pellet quality per round will see immediate improvements in pattern uniformity and shot consistency compared to manual charge methods.
