RE: Gas-checks
I've cast, loaded and shot thousands and thousands of cast bullets in my 44 mags... You just don't need a gas checked bullet in 44 or 45 cal., as long as the bullets are cast out of hard enough lead alloy so it doesn't lead the bbl...
Iwon a lot of long range pistol matches withthe same load and bullet that i "still" use to this day to hunt with...never needing a GC for any of my 44 mag. loads...
The mould is a RCBS 44-250KT.
