I have been reloading for many years now and am still lacking in knowledge and uses for gas checks. I am now loading for .45-70 mostly in Pyrodex with 405 g. coated hardcast in front of a disc patch and a compressed load for my Sharps. Would this be a case where gas checks would be used? Accuracy is outstanding with this combination but would gas checks have any benefit. Also what would be the circumstances where one would use them and how are they affixed. Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks much, Bob
