I tried one of Pat Marlins plain base gas check makers in 35 cal. They would not stay on the bullet. They seemed tight when I loaded them, but I would find them on the ground right in front of where I was shooting a few feet from the end of my barrel. No telling if they were still on the bullet as it exited the barrel, or if they were flying out after the bullet.

I thought about that, and "just in case", I put a small dot of red Locktite on the center of each check before I seat it. I just line a row of em up, dab em all with a pinhead sized spot, and seat. I can't say it works 100%, but I haven't noticed any on the ground during testing yet.

I'll keep track of your PBGC experiences. Like I mentioned I picked up a quantity of them but haven't even tried them out yet. I figured I might need them for the MP 358-640's but so far I haven't found the need.
They seem to shoot just fine with the couple of thrown together loads I have tried. Of course I haven't really sat down and worked up to see just how hard I can push them yet, but for mid level pressure and velocity they are doing fine out of the GP-100. Oh and I was gonna ask about those GC'ed DEWC's but then I remembered those are the "SPECIAL" ones with the nice HP on one end specially for those TURTLES.
