The MEC Charge Bar 302-138 (brand part no. 302138) is a shotshell reloading component from Mec Reloading, sold as a replacement or spare charge bar for MEC shotshell presses. A charge bar is the metal slide that measures and drops a fixed volume of powder or shot with every stroke of the press; each MEC charge bar is manufactured to a specific catalog number that corresponds to a particular cavity size, so handloaders select the bar number matching the powder or shot charge weight called for in their load data. This is a direct-fit MEC part, not a universal or adjustable bar.
