As for the gas check, am I correct to assume that I should put the bottom of the cup end in first? The check will be going down onto the nose of the bullet. I thought if I put the top end of the cup in first, the open end, it would be harder to get into the barrel. I will pick up a 3 lb dead blow hammer. I will also tape my rod as suggested.
I believe this bullet was BHN 10. I didn't not powder coat or lube the bullet with bullet lube. I put gun oil on it when I started, thinking that would be enough.
