    Personally, I rarely use gas check for most pistols
    Good luck
    What load are you intending to use?

    I went to Titan Reloading Site & put all of the casting equipment on my wish list Titan is out of stock on several of the items but this will give me more time to save up to buy them all

    trapper, For the Lee mold you might want to check into some of Blammers Gator checks. On my Lee molds the Gators fit better than the Hornady. Plus they are cheaper and Blammer is a good fellow to buy from. Hornady has been out of a lot of checks since the first of the year.

    The easiest way for me is to go to "advanced search" go to "user name" type in Blammer, find a post by Blammer, Click on his name, send him a PM
