Crimp-on or plain gas check?
Can you tell if the gas check was crimped-on i.e. Hornady or a plain Lyman cas check?
The Lyman simply slip on and are easy to remove from the bullet; the Hornady usually crimp on very well and are difficult to remove.
Once the bullet exits the bore the gas check's work is done and it does not really matter if it fall off - unless you are shooting over a chronographLiving the urban lifestyle so I can pay my way and for my family's needs, and support my country. And you?

I bought $50 worth of "insurance" for my $100 Chronograph in the form of two pieces of channel iron (one goes in front of and one sits on top of my Chrony) heavy enough to deflect a .500 S&W (I tried one).
Now, I just have to make sure I don't hit the diffuser supports.
Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Hard cast woes
If it was Buffalo Bore it was probably Hornady gcs. The only time I had gc problems was the first few times I used a real hard cast bullet using a Lyman lubri-sizer. You actually need a gas check seater to make them work well, with Ly man checks.
