PA game laws are terrible. The game commission is made up of a bunch of "do gooders" and such which does nothing to support the sport for the most part but does drive away hunters, imho.

I weigh all of my boolits. I shoot a lot that have some visual defects but otherwise meet my weight requirement. BTW, i weighed a bunch of full length gas checked bullets to determine what their...
Forum: Gas Checks
I checked the shank size on the Saeco bullet and it is running around .398" - .400". Maybe my mold is defective??
Forum: Gas Checks
My Saeco mold must be made for the lyman checks too as Hornady's wont fit on it either.
Do the Gator's crimp on?
Forum: Gas Checks
I am looking for a mold that works with the Hornady checks, anyone here have this combination to tell me if they will fit?
If it works, i will be looking for one of those molds.

How is the Star at seating/crimping gas checks? I have one 41 mold that i use the horndaddy 416 check on that requires some force to seat on my Saeco and am curious how the Star with its push thru...

I use a LOT of AA 2015 and am curious which one of these would be closest to it in burning rate?
How do these powders compare to RL-7?

Have you had the opportunity to make any headway on this project?
BTW, Where are you getting all the parts from? You mention "breeching" the barrel, a "vent liner" and you will also need the lock...

My opinion (and what i have used as a basis for my quality requirements) is (was) to weigh factory condom bullets and get the "range" of variability that they allow. I know from past experience with...

I think lapping out your existing lee sizer is your best answer. If you open it up to .310" as suggested if wont touch the bullet but will crimp the chek on. Most anything else that you would make is...
