Seating plain base gas checks

[abunaitoo]

I've tried seating .30 plain base, with a Lee sizer, and had nothing but problems.
Lots of the time the check would tear.
i did polish out the die. Chamfer the opening.
I got some 9mm plain base checks and instead of using the Lee sizer, I used the Lyman lube/sizer.
Worked great.
I would lube/size the boollet first, then put the check on, and push the boolet down just enough to size the check.
Not all the way down like when lube/sizing. Just enough to size the check.
Haven't tried it with the 30 boolets yet, but I think it would work the same.

Yes it does work same way for 30 cal plain base gas checks. Lubrisizer is best way to seat any plain base gas checks.

I'm a pretty big fan of Pat's PB gas checks and a bigger fan of nose first sizers but for seating PB checks the base first Lyman or RCBS is the only way to go./beagle

I use 40 caliber plain base checks, sold by a member. Made from pop cans, they snap on the bottom of Lee 175 gr boolits. I put them on, and run through the Lyman 450. Never butchered one. I run that boollit fast through my 10 mm.

I am brand new to gas checks and I just found out about plain base gas checks. These might be perfect for my 450BM load, a Lee 457-340 sized down and loaded up to about 1850. I shot a deer with it this season as a PB bullet. I have generally good accuracy, but always have some flyers. I'm hoping the GC will reduce flyers and any future leading I might have gotten with a PB bullet pushed that fast.
