missouri bullet company article on gas checks.
I'm not really sure how to attribute this post as it was posted to their facebook page. Here is the page of of the company,
https://missouribullet.com/ Here is the url of the post. I'm pasting the text here as I'm not sure if everyone can access the facebook page and it doesn't seem to be present on the website. https://www.facebook.com/missouribul...247?__tn__=K-R I have provided this link to the facebook page. Quote:
On the other hand, there is a company in america that will print up labels and sell you a few boxes of their generic hot sauce with your own name on it. a bottle of sauce with a manufacturers cost of half a buck can be turned into a seven dollar item just by having the graphics crew print out a small lot of labels.

I agree with the content of the third paragraph "First, insofar as handgun bullets are concerned.........."
The only bullets I use gas checks on were designed for rifle use. The forth paragraph more or less states the real reason that the company doesn't make gas checked bullets: profit. |

I cast my own. IME, some of my guns like gas checks, and others don't.

If there was no profit, there would be no business at all. Missouri could make them and charge accordingly, but as the author stated, it would be sometime before the breakeven point would be exceeded. A lot of businesses don't have the time to wait. |

If they chooses not to offer gas checks, that's a legitimate company decision.
but don't bad-mouth them, or tell customers they don't need them, etc. Let the customer decide. I've used gas checks in some, NOT ALL, of my weapons for 60 years.

I have to use gas checks in pistol bullets of 44 and 45 due to rifle velocities. The 45s and some 44s worked without in my revolvers but not the rifles. I just cast my own now and use gas checks as necessary. I also gas check all my 45-70 bullets in Marlin lever. My older rolling block can't run fast enough to justify.

I'm surprised he didn't mention powder coating. They offer many (maybe all) their bullet styles with PC and this does away with the need for a gas check in many of the scenarios where a gas check was previous "needed".
