lube in the place of gas checks.
I find myself running out of gas checks. Down to a couple hundred of .30 cal. Price on box is $5.98.
Being frugal,[read cheap,poor] I have loaded a few .44 mags. with a healthy charge of 2400 behind a SWC 240 gr. GC boolit. Very rich in linotype. Sized and lubed them .429. They came out with the crimp groove and gas check rebate filled perfectly with lube. They feed well manually. Crimped over the front band.
Question; Are these going to work ok in the Ruger carbine, [microgroove, semiauto, old model ser.#6466]? Concerned about leading mostly.
Thanks for your input.
