The question comes up now & then: Can you seat gas checks with a Star Sizer/Luber? Doe season is in here but it’s snowing & cold so I stayed in today & sized a few bullets which happened to use gas checks. Please excuse the messy bench but here’s how I lay them out.

When using gas checks be sure the sprue cutter made a clean cut.

Place the check on the bullet.

I size these nose first so place the bullet in die.

I call this properly seated.
