Hi,
I can't seem to find a shotgun forum on this website but since castboolits members are the smartest reloaders, here's my question:
I have a MEC red charge bar marked 12 GA 0. It has no other markings, not 302 (single-stage) or 502 (progressive).
This MEC 12 GA 0 red chage bar has factory fixed holes for the shot and powder charges and it does NOT take bushings.
Does anyone know what weight shot charge and powder charge (which powder) this MEC 12 GA 0 red charge bar throws? And can anyone refer me to a chart showing charges tossed by this MEC 12 GA 0 red charge bar?
This 12 GA 0 red charge bar is not listed on the MEC website, their current catalog or in any current or recent MEC bushing charts --- nor have I found this MEC charge bar in any shotshell reloading manual.
This MEC 12 GA 0 red charge bar was stored with a Versamec 700 (vintage late 60's early 70's) single-stage shotshell reloader that I inherited after my Dad died. I reloaded shotshells with my dad when I was a teenager and again in the early 90's.
Now, I'm just getting around to reloading some shotshells and can't remember what this MEC 12 GA 0 red charge bar is used for. I'm thinking it might be for skeet loads. I doubt it is for steel shot.
I might have it written down somewhere but I can't seem to find all of my shotshell reloading paperwork stuff (old load notes, etc.) --- I moved a couple of times. Recently, I seem to remember reading somewhere that listed the MEC 12 GA 0, 12 GA 00 and perhaps a 12 GA 1 red charge bars --- but I can for the life of me remember where I read it.
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
