The MEC Progressive Stage Charge Bar, 1 oz (part no. 502100) is the red steel charge bar MEC builds for its progressive-stage shotshell presses. On a progressive press the bar does two jobs on one part: it measures the powder charge by volume before it drops into the hull, then measures out the shot charge on the way into the wad column. It’s rated to throw a 1 oz charge and is scoped to shotshell reloading, not rifle or pistol calibers.
