    Looking for 32 Caliber Plain Base Gas Check

    Hi Gang
    I've had a lot of success using PB gas checks on reloads for my 45/70 rifle and my 45 Colt revolver. I would like to try gas checks for my 32 long and 327 magnum reloads. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate any. I suspect that they aren't as popular.
    I thought that I might reach out on the forum to see if anybody has 32 caliber PB gas checks to sell.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I use 30 cal regular gas checks for my .327 is it possible that you just need 30 cal plane base GCs. If so Sage has aluminium at $28/1000.

    The 30 cal PB gas checks fit perfectly on my 32 cal boolits. They sized without a problem. I'm anxious to hit the range and punch some holes in paper.

    It's nice when a plan comes together. Let us know how they work out.

    Had a great day at the range today. I had a chance to try out the gas checked bullets on my H&R 32 long "Sidekick" and my Ruger SP 101 in 327 magnum. The pistol was my father's that I got after he passed. The revolver stayed in his dresser drawer for 30 years. I've been reloading for both of these revolvers for years and have tried various bullet designs. Unfortunately, I've had issues with leading in both. Until now, I've been using .312 diameter purchased PC bullets and my own cast at the same diameter. I loaded 98 gr. FN and 90 gr SWC for both and sized them with gas checks at .314. Accuracy was excellent with both revolvers and the best point was that I had no leading on inspection back home.
    I don't know if it is the increased diameter or the gas check but I'm glad that I don't have to scrub lead from the barrels tonight.
