I see copper GC come in various thicknesses and I want things to go smooth from the git go.
The shank size of the above boolit is .284 and I will be seating them with NOE push through buhings, either .310 or .311.

Really depends on what alloy you are using and what temp you cast at.

Ideally, cast a few bullets and get actual dimensions.

I suggest the Hornady 30 cal gas checks for that boolit.

[Wayne Smith]

Ask Tom when you order, but I'm pretty sure he'll say 30 caliber - any of them.

[Cosmic_Charlie]

I'll give the Hornady whirl then. Thanks.

Hornady gives me the best accuracy, others are OK but group size goes up. They are good for close hunting.

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Well, my model seven rem has seen perhaps 3000 rds. over it's life and I think it will respond well to GC boolits. I got nice groups today with it using 4.5 grs. of tight group but the 2400 powder loads at 1865 were not too good.

Yeah, the last deer I shot was about 15' away.

Standard 30 cal Gator GC spec shank size .284

There is some irony that I managed to miss the above "sticky" on shank size/ gas checks.

I have good luck with the Sage checks @ $24/100o they are much cheaper than "name brand", I just ordered 2000 more this week.

Anyone know the thickness of the aluminum Sage checks?

Anyone know the thickness of the aluminum Sage checks?

That varies from caliber to caliber...and he even may have some different thicknesses within the same caliber.

[cavhasbeen]

OK, thanks, Best ask the source I guess.

I like the Gator GC I got from NOE, He has them at a good price. I use the NOE gas check installer also and like it

The Hornady GC's worked fine. I annealed them on our glass top stove. Dumped a couple hundred out, segregated them by cup up or cup down, pushed them onto the burner set on med. with a metal spatula and pushed them off when they changed from dark red to a brass color.
