I bought a 7mm 130grain mould to start casting boolits and my son tells me I will need gaschecks to go with them. Now how do I go about getting or making them? And what size would I need? Any help would be appreciated.

You buy them from many places. Hornady and Lyman are the big names but search here, some members sell the too.

I buy most of my supplies from Midsouth Shooters' supply. You will need a sizer die also in order to install them.

Congratulations on your starting to cast bullets
How will you be sizing and adding lubricant to your cast bullets?

I am not sure on sizing or lubercating so any ideas there would be a help. Like I said I am new to this and still learning.
Dcryder, I would suggest getting a sizing die from Lee to start off with. Should most likely fit your reloading press and comes with alox to start out with as lube.
Also might not be a bad idea to pick up a copy of Lymans Bullet Casting Book. A lot of good info for starting out.

Hearty second on the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, I recommend the 3rd edition as far better than the fourth, but either one will walk you through the basic processes and get you familiar with that you are trying to do. You will have a lot more questions than you even realize now, and these books will get you through most of them ahead of time. Study up!

get a Lee pushthrough sizer and get some GC's from me.
