    I think you will like that 65gr MP. I really like mine in the AR rifles. My Savage with the Criterion barrel is too tight and too short of a throat to use them in right now. I only have about 50rnds through the barrel right now. But once it gets a bunch of rounds I will revisit it in that gun.

    Excellent molds sir. Only 22 cal mold I have right now is Lyman 225438. I use it for 22 hornet with unique powder. I will soon powder coat them and run gas check with 2400 powder. There’s just something cool about casting for 22 center fire rounds. I can shoot my hornet for so darn cheap.

    If it's harder than wheel weights why would it need a gas check ?

  • @cw2a

    @cw2a

    5 ай бұрын

    There are a number of reasons for use of a Gas Check. One most think of is velocity and yes thats part of the equation. But more precisely its pressure. As pressures increase a GC is a real benefit. Another other is quality of the base. A GC offers better more consistent base and this is a very important part of a accurate bullet. I have not been able to get good accuracy from a bullet designed for a GC, when a GC is not in place. So as a rule, if a bullet calls for a GC its getting one if my load really requires one or not. Simply because I find better accuracy with one. Since PC I only rarely buy a GC designed bullet as most if my pressures and velocities combined with powder coat, do not require a GC. Hope that helps more then confuses.

  • @andycaldwell4828
    @andycaldwell48284 ай бұрын

    If you powder coat do you still need the gas check?

  • @cw2a

    @cw2a

    4 ай бұрын

    Yes, sometimes. Powdercoat does not replace gas checks. But what it does is it raises the velocity threshold where a gas check is required. So to generalize, regular revolver, cartridges, magnums or otherwise one powder coated will not require a gas check. But, I find better accuracy when a mold is cut for a gas check, when I use a gas check. When I cast a rifle bullet, generally, they're all checked. I will powder coat it and gas. Check it. I gas check, better handles the higher pressures found in rifle loadings.
