    Placed first order with Sage for .30 cal AL and will be the first time using any AL checks. Have always used Hornady. I have some of those left so will be able to do a comparison.

    they are good quality and fast shipping, the cost of 30 cal checks have gotten a bit expensive for me so I make my own gas checks and have lots to use. I see no difference between the al or copper, just the price.

    Ordered some .30 .017" to try and some .500's for the future SIL. The .30s shot same POI as Hornadys.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I never heard of these folks. I ordered 500 32/8mm checks

    Just pulled the trigger on 5K x 223 copper Gator checks from Sage's. Same price shipped as a GC die and punch without the hassle or expense of sheet metal or time delay to make them. Life is too short to spend all of it at the reloading bench fashioning rounds or components to fit the projectiles.
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    First time in a very long time I had to go shopping for gas checks for 6.5 and 8mm. None to be found at the usual places so I googled and came up with Sage's Outdoors. They not only had gas checks but had them waaaaaay cheaper than anybody. Like 24 and 27 bucks per 1k with only 8.50 postage. Ordered late last night they shipped today.

    Youse guys probably already know about this source but I thought I'd give a heads up. These are "Gator" checks.

    Thanks for your experience. As a result of reading it I ordered some gas checks from them. In stock, good price, and fast service. They are bookmarked.

    The have Small Shank GC for .264/6.5mm

    Hi all,
    I've also been a regular customer of Sage, and concur with all the great things said of them. The OP mentioned 6.5mm GCs. One thing that Shamus developed was a "small shank" GC for the 6.5/.264, they fit tightly on my NOE 266 140gr FN whereas the Gator checks were loose, even when pushed through a sizer. If you have that problem, just look for the "SS" Gas Checks.

    They use to offer the small shank checks for 44 caliber in aluminum. I'm down to my last pack of one thousand. The last few times I put in an order, they are not even listed anymore. I even sent an email inquiry, a couple of weeks ago, have heard nothing back.

    I have not had the same experience as others with their copper checks,spring back was terrible and they wouldn’t stay on. I had to anneal them to use them,never had to do that with Hornady,the aluminum checks are fine.
