[QUOTE="RustyW, post: 1180085, member: 8929"] I cast my own bullets and never bother using a gas check for a pistol cartridge. Mainly because I shoot the pistols at a moderate pressure & velocity. A lot of people go by the velocity as a rule instead of pressure. I use pressure as the rule and if I get the velocity I want, that's great. Pressure and bullet fit is the key in working with lead bullets. Here is a pic from a 45cal bullet I cast for my 45/70. The one on the left is a flat base no check can be applied. The one in the middle is a gas check design w/o the check and the one on the right is the same bullet with the check applied. [/QUOTE]
