You will have to buy those through the mail or from a well stocked shooting supply store. So the quick answer is no."A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind."

I think Lee Stoner makes some but doubt he would sell them without the lead. You can get dies to make your own but they are picky about the thickness of stock you use. By the time you count your time and hassle value its best to just order what you need and be done with it.Andy

thanks for the leads. Im not sure what im going to do. I have 6 buckets of lead that Im going to make ingots this winter. I feel like I need to gas check my 44 loads and my 45/70 loads... I think ill just buy them for now. Anyone have any luck with the rbcs lube/size machine? And also seat gas checks with it?

thanks for the info. The rcbs looks like the a decent machine.

The GC is supposed to stay with the bullet but depending on the brand and bullet shank size, some fit better than others. Also some have a little crimp edge that digs into the bullet a little and some don't. Some times they don't make it much further than the end of the barrel still attached. And yes they can destroy an unprotected crono display. I see GCs at SW, and a few other places from time to time. There is a fellow on "cast boolits" that sells a variety of GCs quite a bit cheaper than retail stores and they are said to be very good checks. I make my own from aluminum with dies that I make. But, they are more labor intensive on my limited equipment than I would like.

In my experience over all about a forth of them come off, some do better and some do a lot worse. Seems the smaller the caliber the better they stay on, my .256wm stay well but my hot 45/50 caliber stuff not so much. Yea, I can tell you first hand they definitely will kill a chronograph.Andy
