Good morning all! I have been reading here for quite some time and while learning a lot, still have a question that I need to have answered prior to purchasing gas checks or the equipment to make them.

I intend to purchase a couple sets of gas check molds for my 45-70 in size .460, a couple of thousandths over the mic'd size of my barrel.

When I look at gas checks or the equipment to make them, they simply state that they are for .45 caliber. Are these going to be large enough for the shank of a .460 gas checked bullet?

I have not yet decided on which GC's to buy. I like the low prices of the "Gator" checks but want to get the brand that crimps on and stays on the .460 bullet shanks the best.

Thanks!

Mine use 45 cal cks, the same as 45 LC ect. They might have had different cks for 45 ACP, LC, 45/70 but not on my moulds.

Check the Group Buy site. I believe the Gator has different checks for .45 Pistol and .45 Rifle.
