    7 TCU....Thor..checked or not?

    Back in the Contender game after a few years hiatus, the last 7TCU being prior to me casting anything but 45's and 44's.
    I'm looking at the NOE molds with the Thor looking like a good choice.
    Anybody shooting the *un-checked* version in this caliber?
    What kind of accuracy are you getting? "Ringing steel" doesn't really tell me anything.
    Thanks in advance!

    Just ordered the 5 banger gas-checked version from NOE.
    Can't go wrong with checks...I guess.

    I agree with Bagdadjoe. Gas checking makes life simpler and adds versatility in my 7TCU's.

    I shot a lot of silhouette years ago with the 7 TCU and 7 BR using the 145 RCBS for chickens, pigs and turkeys and the Lyman 160 for rams. All on top of H322.

    Thanks..
    Got the mold, drops consistently at 130g. I'm not shooting silhouette, so the lighter pills are fine.
    Say...I used to live in East Tennessee...Morristown, Johnson City, Betsytown...
