    I think any check made for .452" boolits will work.

    Sages Outdoors makes aluminum checks with an OD .464 out of .019 that would work

    I assumed you were sizing for a 460 S&W, apparently you're not.

    I used some of blammer's 458 Rifle checks and sized them to 0.460" for my 45-70s. Brad

    Check with Don at "thegascheckstore.com". He can make them out of 0.020" material for you and that should crimp on nicely. Bigger caliber, thicker material

    my website for GC's should have the dimensions on it for each GC so you can see what will work.
