Hornady Crimp-On Gas Checks .22 Caliber 1000-Count

Hornady Crimp-On Gas Checks for Cast Bullet Reloading

These copper gas checks represent a proven solution for handloaders who cast their own bullets. Hornady's crimp-on design has become the standard choice among serious reloaders seeking to maximize the performance and longevity of cast ammunition.

How They Work

Gas checks crimp securely onto the base of cast bullets, creating a protective barrier against the intense heat and pressure of firing. This simple but effective design accomplishes several critical functions:

• Prevents bullet deformation during the firing process
• Reduces lead fouling in the barrel by minimizing lead buildup
• Protects the bullet base from erosion caused by hot combustion gases
• Improves accuracy by maintaining bullet integrity through the bore

Quality and Versatility

Manufactured from quality copper, these checks are available in multiple diameters to accommodate various calibers, from .22 through larger rifle cartridges. The 1000-count package provides ample supply for serious reloaders.

The Reloader's Advantage

For hunters and shooters who reload their own ammunition, gas checks transform cast bullets into reliable, accurate ammunition comparable to jacketed alternatives. They extend barrel life and reduce maintenance intervals—practical benefits that justify their modest cost.
