I have a Lee 310 gr mold, that according to the calculations, is in need of .017 alum material to make checks. anyone know where to get that size alum?. Will this thickness work through Patmarlins 44 checkmaker?. Could use .016 alum also for other bullet shanks. I mic'ed the Lee shanks and they were at .398 and size to .432

Cut - To - Fit has certified .016 sheets.They will cut what you need. Be sure to call and have them roll it up and put in a box, much cheaper. You can buy Amerimax 68214 on line comes 14"x50' rolls. Thickness will range from .015- .018. Not great but can be used for different calibers. I have some .017 and .018 in stock. Send me a private email with shipping address and I can fit you up with some strips to keep you shooting. James

ubetcha: I have several sample coils of .017"HH x 5/8" in stock here in the US. How much do you need? These coils are about 10' each and I have five. At present I do not have full length coils but I expect Yonky will be sending me some for USA sales soon. I handle Yonky's coils for shipment here in the US.
