30 cal.

30 caliber gas checks are what is required.

30 cal is all I have used in my 32/20s. Hornady and Gators have done well in the past.

Thanks for the information, I will order the .30 cal Hornady gas checks.

Will this hold true on a .327 federal mag too? Even if it is sized as much as .314 or .315?

Yes. The GC shank should be sized for the GC, not the groove or bore. The only issue I think you run into is when the GC gets appreciably smaller than the groove you can get to a point that it doesn't work any more. If the GC is allowing gas cutting then you are wasting your money on the GC. That's a rare occurrence though.

Check the Sticky for GC size and measure your shank size.

Thanks for the info. I'm just getting ahead of myself, don't even have my mould yet. I need to make a big pot of coffee, sit down and read Stickies.

If I thought my UPS man and local post office staff didn't like me before - just wait till I start getting lead in the mail. Thanks!
