Bought Hornady checks from Brownells, which are the right size and vary in OD by only +/- .0005", so all is well again. If anybody has a use for these oversize Sage checks let me know. I can't find any bullet they'd fit. Maybe you can. [/rant]
    Sage Checks have problems.Use Gator Checks and u should be fine.I wont buy Sage brand again.

    I have used Sage gas checks both copper and aluminum with both handgun calibers and rifle calibers. The only problem I ever had was me.

    I was unhappy with my choice of gas checks I purchased from him and he gave me a full refund and I then bought more from him. He is a very honest guy and I will absolutely continue to do business with Sage gas checks. The shipping is always fast. I dont know what more I could ask for. I dont need to talk to him on the phone anyway.

    i did need to talk to him after i emailed several times and got zero response so i called and left two messages and no return. i see you were unhappy with his checks.Again sage checks are not gator checks and the quality is obvious between the two. I buy from NOE now.

    True, I was not happy with his checks and he told me i should probably get the gator checks and gave me a refund. I cant ask for better service and when I get treated fairly I go back.

    Well, wonder of wonders I finally got a reply to my email. Didn't address my issue at all, it was just a form letter to tell me that, and I quote:

    "We just restocked the Gator .22, .25, .30, .323/ 8 mm, .348, .35, .44, .458, .500 S&W, .30 Aluminum, .30 (.017) Copper and .44 Copper gas checks."
