Gas checks and the #358156

[David LaPell]

I am picking up a Lyman mould for the #358156 bullet for my .357 Magnum and .38-44 revolvers. Both sized at .358 and this will be my first time casting and sizing bullets with gas checks. Do you prefer a Lyman or Hornady and will the standard 35 cal gas checks work?

[Ben]

Hornady is my choice. Standard .35 cal. gas checks fit either .35 cal. rifle or pistol bullets equally well.

Neither !!, I had Buckshot remove my GC shanks !!!

But when I do I use Hornady`s

I also chose Hornady when I bought GC's.
They worked out very well on my 30 cal (.3085) Boolits.

I now make my own GC's.

I was under the impression that Hornaday made Lyman checks. No?? That 358156 mold is a dandy. Good shooter!!! I have it in single cavity. Bought it in 1973. Just used in the night before last.

I use Gator gas checks on all my bullets I cast for. They fit tight on my 357, 41 and 44 mag. Blammer on here sells them at a good price. I had trouble with Lyman gas checks on my 44's fitting loose after sizeing. Changed to Gator gas checks and never looked back.
