    .500 Gas Checks

    Does anyone know of the Gator checks in .50 caliber will fit well on a shank cut for a Hornady check ? For a 500 S&W.

    I've had 50 cal pistol checks by both Hornady and Gator. I'd guess they are the same specs.

    I only have one mold with GC shank. It's the Lee 440 RF.
    the shank on my boolit mold is undersized, both checks slide on too easily, and kind of crimp on...they stay on, but I can turn the check easily. I've been meaning to open up the mold, just haven't gotten around to it, yet.
