Gas checks

Archeryrob · Apr 6, 2021

I got an order from a smaller manufacture of GC's and I would not throw their name out because I think its an honest mistake. We will see how they handle it. I ordered 30 caliber GC's in 1000 and got a bag of two mixed sizes. Quite obvious as one sits inside fo the other. I think someone spilled one type of GC's into the wrong bin.

Small ones measure .32"
Larger ones measure .388

The .32 are 30 cal or .311 and get sized. I am assuming the .388 are for 38 caliber? Anyone know?

They said they would send me another bag. They said the packaging department got sloppy and partly from fatigue with over working in this glorious time to sell ammo products.

SO I sorted them out. Anyone need some .388 gas checks? I told the wife it was an omen to buy a 38 and she rolled her eyes and said I've spent enough lately.

For those that I don't make myself, I order from Sage Outdoors in Florida. https://www.sagesoutdoors.com/gas-checks/

They are easy to work with and will advise you on which check to use when experimenting. They also have developed checks for plain base bullets which I found worked great on my .44 magnum bullets that were not cut for checks.

.388 probably for .375-.379 rifle bullets .

Yes, it was sage and Shamus replied to be directly about the problem. He already sent me a shipment notification for the replacements. I just didn't want to bad mouth them as they are obviously a quality vendor.

Anyone shoot a .375 and need gas checks?

John, were the dies affordable?

Back when I bought them they were. These dies were made as a three piece hand punch set.

Pat Marlin makes dies for check making that are @100.

If Sage Outdoors was around when i bought mine, I would have never have bought the dies as it is a lot of work. I bought them at a time when Hornady did not make checks in all calibers.
