I don't have much time to shoot. Also, I wish there was a tool that works like a pencil sharpener and can scrap a bevel into the base of cast bullets so I can press on gas checks.
I have used the NOE bullet base chamfer tool.I think NOE has such a critter for chamfering gas check shanks, but not for installing checks. Pat Marlin makes a plain-base beer can checkmaker and those checks work great on PB bullets.
I used it to remove "flash" from a bullet base (GC shank) to allow a GC to be easily seated. That was from a troublesome mold with a flaky sprue cutter...and also a couple others when there was operator error.
Ian is correct...I can't imagine it doing anything beyond fixing that problem...and that problem should be corrected via fixing the mold or casting technique...(or selling the mold, LOL). Because it won't reduce the size of the GC shank, if that is the problem.
Anyway, I have two of those NOE devices, one powered by hand, and the other with a hex end for a battery screwdriver or equiv...
I should sell 'em, cuz I don't plan on ever using them again.
