Thanks MT. Understood. After being in discussion with a few specialty casters, they convinced me it wasn't worth trying to find bullets for my gas checks based on the cost and questionable...

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. As you can tell, I'm kind of new to this. Thanks for setting me straight. Now, where can I get what I'm looking for? Any thoughts?

I have a supply of .458 gas checks. I've searched the internet for a supply of heeled cast lead bullets, but I'm coming up empty. Since I don't cast my own, can anyone give me some suggestions where...

Thank you. Great resource! Good prices.

What online sellers have you used for cast boolits (coated and or non-coated) that accept gas checks? I have not been able to find any or I don't know what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Anyone know where I can purchase cast boolits, with and without coating, that will accommodate gas checks for both 45-70 and 44 mag?

I don't cast or coat boolits. I shot coated boolits yesterday and was appauled by the amount of lead in the barrel when I cleaned it. In my opinion, coating boolits is not a substitute for the use of...

So I finally got the chance to shoot the 200 gr plated boolits with no cannelure from Berry's Bullets. Every round fed and shot without any issues. Very satisfied.

I'm using a Lee Factory Crimp (roll) Die and the exact same procedure you outlined in your last paragraph. As I indicated earlier, I see no visible damage to the cartridges I've loaded to far, but I...

Chad, what does "lfcd and always touch the shell" mean? Thanks.

Thanks Charlie. I've loaded a batch but have not shot them yet. They look fine. No visible deformation of any kind. I read somewhere that if the crimp is too aggressive the boolits will tumble. I'll...

Bought Berry's 200 gr plated flat nose boolits to shoot out of a Winchester 1892 in 44 mag. Read a post here where Berry's recommended a light crimp, but I believe that was a reference to pistol...

Thank you gentlemen. Appreciate your input.

What's the difference, if any, between Hodgdon and IMR powders with the same numbers like 4227, 4198, etc?

Again, thanks for the input/advice.

Thanks Chris.

Thank you for the information and for the advice. Much appreciated.

Hope you guys have plenty on hand cause Unique is out of stock everywhere.

Thank you. That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Yes, load data is readily available in the manuals I have so I feel I'm good to go ahead and start loading safely.

I have several loading manuals from both powder and boolit manufacturers. They all show loads for jacketed and cast boolits, but none of those manuals show loads specifically for cast boolits with...

Thanks guys. Great information. Just what I was looking for. Appreciate it.

That's just it. I have not been able to find any listed load data specifically for gas checked boolits. Less pressure. Interesting. Thanks.

45-70. 405 gr cast.

Can you use standard loading data for cast boolits when shooting them with gas checks or do you have to reduce the load to account for the increased pressure? Is there some kind of formula to apply?...

Have a Pedersoli Remington Rolling Block in 45-70. Looking for but cannot find published load data for 405 gr cast boolits with gas checks, either purchased that way or for adding gas checks to cast...

That is great information. Thanks. Will see if I can locate the #4 Handbook.
