I recently picked up an NEI 318-175 with the intention of sizing the bullets down to .314 or .315 for my Argentine Mauser. That's no problem, but the trouble is, a 30 cal gas check won't fit, even when annealed and expanded slightly with a 1/4" hollow punch. I used to have some 32 cal checks, but traded them to a few of you way back when. As I remember, the 32 cal checks were way too big for .313 bullets. The gas check shank measures 0.300� on these bullets, I can�t seem to find a 311316 without a check to compare. I�ll probably try shooting them unchecked to see how that goes, but I�d prefer to have a check seated down there eventually. So what is available out there for these bullets? Thanks, Stan.

That shank has to be cut for .32/8mm GCs.

That's what I needed to know - a measurement of the check in question before I sent off for a whole box of them. Didja know that there aren't 1000 checks per box as claimed?? I counted a whole box of 32 cal Hornadys once (by counting 100 and weighing, etc.) and found more like 1100, if I remember correctly. Thanks, Stan

The other guy got 900.
