Best place to get gas checks?
I have a 311316 mold that takes gas checks but I all out. When I was given the mold it came with 1000 gaschecks. Now I'm all out. I see they are alittle pricey.
Dumb question. Do i need to use them if I'm shooting this bullet at pistol velocity? I searched on cast boolits but really didn't get a straight anwser from the stick post. Alot of variables it lloks like. Alloy,size, etc.
What are you shooting the bullet in ? For pistols, I have

shot bullets designed for gas checks without such and had fine results at mid and lower velocities, even the 311359 in 30 Carbine pistols. For Carbine rifle and high end loads, I use gas checks. There is someone in the swapping & selling section of CB forum that sells aluminum gas checks, or at least a maker for them.
The only way to know for sure is to try them.
Gas checks have become expensive.

Woody, only one real way to find out if you can shoot with out the checks is to try it. Lots of guys do it successfully YMMV. Over on the cast boolits site checks are for sale in DJ's corner he sells the Gator checks I buy from him and use them good checks at the very best price except for the occasional find from some guy who no longer casts and is just unloading his stuff.
