    Hey does anyone make their own gas checks? Any tips on who to get flashing from that comes in .015" thickness?

    Ive been emailing a person on ebay (Matteson Eng) who make a set of dies. Looking at getting a custom set to make checks that actually fit the shank of .460 cast bullets. Around .430" x .05" deep cup size will be good i reckon. The hornady ones are for 45acp i assume as you have to snap them on.

    Im gonna keep using them as i blast out my cast projectiles as fast as i do jacketted ones. Even though ive dug out non gc bullets from the clay and not witnessed melting or defamation. GC are still neater into the neck when seating, and they help minimise contact with powder / pc on the bullets. They say they clean the barrel but who knows
