MEC Outdoors 30234 Single Stage Charge Bar 3/4 oz Steel Multi-Caliber

The MEC Outdoors 30234 Single Stage Charge Bar delivers precise 3/4 oz powder charges for consistent shotshell reloading across multiple gauges. This steel construction charge bar eliminates powder bridging issues that plague plastic alternatives while maintaining dimensional accuracy shot after shot.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard aluminum charge bars that can wear down over time, this steel construction model maintains its precise internal dimensions through thousands of loading cycles. The 3/4 oz capacity handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl charges without requiring bar changes. Steel's superior durability means consistent powder drops that don't drift over time, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration that costs time at the bench.

Key Features

• Precision-machined steel construction resists wear and dimensional changes
• 3/4 oz capacity accommodates wide range of powder charges from light to heavy loads
• Multi-caliber compatibility works with 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge applications
• Smooth internal finish prevents powder bridging and ensures consistent flow
• Direct replacement for MEC single stage presses without modifications
• Hardened steel surfaces maintain accuracy through extended use
• Factory-calibrated dimensions eliminate initial setup guesswork

Reloaders running high-volume sessions appreciate the consistent throws this charge bar maintains throughout extended loading runs. Competition shooters rely on its repeatable powder drops for uniform velocities that translate to tighter patterns downrange. The steel construction handles both fine-grain powders and coarser formulations without the static buildup issues common with plastic components.

Technical Specs
