30 caliber gas checks fit best on .284 shanks. Thats the standard size.

Most aluminum found in hardware stores is just too hard for the .35's. Our FreeChex tools in .35 used .010 flashing okay. If you can find a dead soft or annealed copper its easier to work with. But,...

Charlie makes them with enough room to handle .013 - .015 thick material. Too thin and the Frechex tools will make turtles!

The .014 flashing is good for .310 if the shank is .284 or a little less. The problem with flashing is its really hard usually, some brands will show the alloy and you can google the specs. I think...

Usually the Gator 30's work good on a straight shank like that. The extra tall .303 gas checks will have more surface to bite on though. Gators are made with .017 gilding brass best I can tell.
