Help! Vulcan checks does not have copper 45 cal. Now what?

[Jevyod]

I worked up a nice load for my 45-70 using bullets from an Accurate 460-415V mold. I had ordered a sample pack of 45 caliber gas checks from Vulcan. The copper ones fit beautifully, and I got a load that shot 1.2" @100 yds. So I need to make more for hunting season. I went to their site, and no copper. I emailed them and got a reply that said they had to pull the copper ones due to some manufacturing problems. Now what? I am assuming that checks from a different company would be slightly different. Or wouldn't they? They still have aluminum but they didn't fit as nicely as aluminum. If I remember the copper was a bit thicker. Here's the kicker. Season opens in 2 weeks so I really don't have a lot of time to try a lot of different things!

Try them without checks, you may be surprised.

Take a look at this thread, especially post #2: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...uot-gas-checks

Might check with Sagebrush7 and see what he has available. He makes a darn nice check and has a new al. material that seems to match the copper checks in hardness. He's a whiz a getting a check that works for you.

I have a few 45/70 , .458 Copper Gator checks left. They are going fast. My aluminum .458 checks are killing big game out West and in Alaska.

NO! If it is BAD! YES if it is GOOD! James, Deborah and Shamus the check makers!
