Shank size/length for proper gas check crimp
I have several molds now that the shank the gas check crimps on seems too long. The gas check once run thru the sizing die seems to be on good and tight but there is a groove created by the length of the shank being too long. Now I have tried using it as an additional grease groove and they look fine, but I'm concerned that the grease may unseat the check and allow it to seperate from the bullet.
Have any of you had to deal with this before?
I can seat with out the grease in that area and have done no testing as of yet. The bullet design is a SWC with a single groove and I am putting additional grease in that area making it a double grease groove. Whether or not it is practical or necessary is unknown to me. It just so happens it came out that way from the beginning.
Please advise...
