I will be shooting LEEs R.E.A.L bullets. Do you need a gas check ?

No. The REALs do pretty well in muzzle loaders and aren't designed for checks. I don't know how one could ram a check anyway, it'd have to be full diameter for it to do any good and may prevent the bullet from expanding out and obturating in the bore.
