Ok, totally lost when it comes to gas checks. Tried reading a few things and totally confused.
Why gas checks instead of a harder alloy,Do I buy them oversized? How do I put them on the bullet, do I size them with the bullet.
Why aluminum or why copper? At what point do they lose the advantage over plain lead, or fmj?
Can they go on powder coat bullets, and if so before or after.Why not just run a card board wad instead?
Looked for a basic understanding on these and could not find a thread that sums up the basics. Or a book or pamphlet on the basics.
I apologize if you already have a thread that addresses the basics of gas checks. If so you can redirect me and delete this discussion.
Thanks.
