So far i have only cast pistol bullets and not used gas checks.
I am about to cast some .311 diameter rifle bullets. Do I need 30 caliber gas checks or 32 caliber gas checks?

Was a bit short...had to get up or burn the sweet potatos.

Have used several bullet molds from RCBS and Lyman that tossed .311-.314" bullets, and so far all of them have taken .30 caliber gas checks.

Does depend on the size of the gas check shank they machined ito the mold...and i've had some "stinker" molds that made getting them attached a problem.
