Lyman Gas Checks, .35/.38 Special/.357 Caliber, 1000-Count

Lyman Gas Checks for .35/.38 Special/.357 caliber (part no. 2827270) protect the base of cast bullets from the hot powder gases that can erode or deform soft lead as it leaves the case. These gilded metal cups seat onto the base of a cast bullet before sizing, and Lyman makes them available in ten caliber-specific sizes covering everything from .22 up to .45 caliber. Cast bullet shooters use them to protect bullet bases and pick up extra velocity without switching to jacketed projectiles.
