Curious if anyone has modified a steel plain base mold to produce a boolit that will take a gas check. Going the other way is straight forward, just open the gas check base to the nominal bullet diameter in the lathe or mill. I want to shrink the base, which means adding material. The only way I've thought of would be to silver solder or braze half-rings into the base of the mold halves, file/stone till flat, and then remachining the base bore to the GC dimension and perhaps the first groove. I've searched and only found going GC > PB. Obviously a lot of work, but I have a couple molds I won't use as PB and it would be a fun exercise if there is a decent chance of success. Hardest part would seem to be the solder/braze operation, keeping excess material from flowing forward into the mold and filling grooves. Most silver solder solders don't flow until above 1100+ degrees so should stay put at lead melting temps.
