As Mike/Tx stated, annealing the gas checks makes working with them a whole lot easier. I dump mine into a two inch diameter, six-inch long iron pipe with caps on the end. During the winter when I have a fire in my fire place, I throw it into the fire. The next morning, when the fire has burned out and cooled, I pull it out of the ashes and remove a the cap and dump them back in their box.
They are not "pretty" anymore, but go on to the bullet bases a whole lot easier. It is worth the extra effort.
Annealing the gas checks has become somewhat of a standard practice for rifle cast lead bullet shooters in the Cast Lead Bullet Association's matches.
