I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I’m hardheaded so here goes lol. I ordered a Lee 6banger 358-158SWC GC that should arrive tomorrow and I’m wanting to remove the GC shank since I have no desire nor need to shoot a GC. For those that have ventured down this road what were your results? I remember reading somewhere of a fella that does it for a few bucks but I don’t recall his name.

I did mine with a small sharp pocket knife. Just go slow.

Shoot as it is without concern about the rebated base of the gas check bullet. Then decide if you want to mess with modifying the mold. It would be a shame to find an undersized casting after you have altered the mold.
Shoot first. Maybe cut never.
Leave it, load some up and shoot them . If they shoot well, call it a day.
I've got that mould in a 2 cav . Less than magnum loads shoot just fine without the check installed mine drop at 164 grs in a soft alloy, if were me I'd shave down the top of the blocks instead of reaming out the GC
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
I have that same mold design, only a SC SWC HP purchased back when they still made such things. It shoots fine without the check at 38 SP velocities, .357 MAG if powder coated. Every once in a while, I get a wild hair and cast some up. Most of the time I shoot other molds I have but sometimes a pretty, shiny, black SWCHP just looks right. I still use gas checks on occasion when I make some.
