I have been using GatorCheck gas checks for 45-70 405- and [in the near future] 425-grain LFN GC bullets. I am getting several thousand Hornady gas checks from a friend, also intended for 45-70 bullets. My loads are, and will be, within safe loading parameters of Hodgdon's data for H322 and IMR 3031. I do not load to the maximum loads identified by Hodgdon's data.

My query has zero to do with any changes in accuracy or point of impact. May I safely use GatorCheck OR Hornady gas checks on the bullets identified, using the same loading data, powders, primers, and brass?

any change would be so minor that it would fall into normal deviations.

I interchange GC brands like breathing, do it so often I don't even think about it.
