Hi Guys.....

I'm a newbie to shooting lead. Want to load up some 30-30s for plinking. I don't really shoot enough to warrant the investment in casting equipment. Purchase most of the bullets through Midway. Have read a few articles on gas checks but don't know how to install them. Do I need some sort of die for my press?....want to gas check 30-30,,44-40 and 44mag....The last two I load to around 950 fps and not sure if I really need gas checks.
Thanks for any help...

Thanks, Hubbard...

I wasn't aware of that fact. So far I have purchased Hornaday and D&J hardcast bullets and they are not designed for gas checks. If I can recall,I think I ran into sites that sell the 30cal bullets with gas checks already installed. will have to slug the 94 and see what size I need.

Thanks again.
