I reload with a Lee hand press. I am considering acquiring a bench press. I really want to avoid buying a lubrisizer just to install gas checks.

I have read of several jury-rigged methods of creating tools to crimp gas checks without the use of a lubrisizer. Are there available any retail tools that will allow me to crimp gas checks for: .476-inch revolver bullets; .458-inch rifle bullets; .512-inch rifle bullets? I make no reference to O.D.s of bullets at the gas check because these should be industry standard.

The Lee push through sizer dies will install gas checks. I don't know about the availability of those sizes, but the are easily enlarged a thou. or so, or can be ordered from Lee in custom sizes. Also Buckshot, forum member, can make or ream dies for you. These will work well with your hand press. DALE
