Hornady 416 Caliber Gas Checks, sold 1,000 to a box (Hornady part no. 7125), are small copper cups that crimp onto the base of a cast bullet to protect it from the heat and pressure of the propellant gases at firing. Without a gas check, a soft lead cast bullet driven at higher velocities can suffer base melting or leading in the bore, and this 416 caliber gas check is sized specifically to fit that bullet diameter for a clean, secure base seal. Bulk-buying 1,000 at a time keeps high-volume cast-bullet reloaders stocked for a full casting and loading season.
