Hornady 7110 35 Cal Crimp-On Gas Checks for Cast Bullets - 1000 Count Box

If you're casting your own bullets for rifle loads, Hornady 7110 35 Cal crimp-on gas checks belong in your reloading bench. These copper gas checks are engineered to seat firmly at the base of cast bullets, protecting them from the punishment of hot propellant gases and the deformation that comes with it. For handloaders who want consistent, reliable performance from cast ammunition—especially in harder-hitting rifle cartridges—gas checks are a straightforward way to extend case life and improve accuracy downrange.

Cast bullets, by nature, are softer than jacketed rounds, which means they're more vulnerable to gas erosion and bullet upset at the base when fired. A crimped gas check forms a protective barrier that reduces lead fouling buildup inside your barrel, keeping your bore cleaner over the long haul and extending the intervals between cleaning cycles. This translates to less maintenance time and more shooting time—a practical win for hunters and range shooters who load their own ammunition.

Hornady's 35 caliber gas checks come in a box of 1,000 units, sized to work with .358-diameter cast bullets. Whether you're loading for a .358 Winchester, .35 Remington, or another .35 caliber rifle, having a full supply on hand means you won't need to order mid-project. The checks are straightforward to seat: insert them into the base of your cast bullet and crimp them tight using a properly adjusted reloading press. Quality control and consistency are hallmarks of Hornady manufacturing, so you can trust these checks will seat uniformly across your batch.
