I recently started to reload for a new pedersoli sharps rifle. An old aquaintence told me that I wont get any accuracy if I dont use a gas check. I've been reading "Buffalo Rifles of the old west" and they don't mention the use of gas checks at all. I'm paper patching a .446 dia mony boolet from a mold purchased from Buffalo arms. I use a 1/8"felt wad behind the patched boolet over a grease cookie and a wad cut from a cardboard milk carton over 70 gns of 2F Goex. So what do I need to do? Gas check or not?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Armouredtrooper.
