    Question Gas Checks-Question

    Do you put them in the mould and pour the lead in on top or attach them somehow after casting? Yeah, I'm a noob.

    After the boolit's cast, you pop the gas check on the base and run the boolit through a sizing die to crimp it on.

    You're welcome. FWIW, I like the Lee size/lube kits.
