Gas Checks for Bullets

Gas Checks for Bullets

Back to top
Gas checks are essential components for reloading lead bullets, especially when aiming to maintain accuracy and reduce barrel leading at higher velocities. These small metal cups—usually made of copper or alloy—are placed on the base of the bullet and serve as a barrier between the soft lead and the hot propellant gases during firing. Thanks to their design, gas checks allow lead bullets to be fired at higher speeds without losing accuracy or deforming, ensuring consistent trajectories and tighter groupings. They’re ideal for reloaders who want the benefits of lead without sacrificing performance—whether for rifles or handguns.
