    Freechex Questions

    I wound up with two Freechex - one in .355 and one in .356. It looks like these are not being made anymore. How durable are these? Are there better choices? I am not currently casting. I have some molds, but none are made for gas checks. Trying to decide whether to keep them or not. Any ideas on what these are worth?

    They are one of the best GC Makers you can get.
    I have a number of them and make checks in 22, 30, 303, 9.3, and 45 caliber
    The work well. Keep them from rusting, use a bit of synthetic 2 stroke oil to lube the moving parts.
    ANd i have taken to using a cloth damp with 2 stroke oil on the aluminium stock I make the checks from
    Seems to work just a little nicer for me
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...
