As I have always used a.lot of gas checks and with the current component run on I decided to fattening up my inventory. Called my normal guy yesterday and ordered 1,000 in every caliber I use them and more in my popular calibers. Apparently there is no run on gas checks. As I always use copper that is what I ordered.
My component supplier asked if I was interested in any aluminum units. Since I have never used them I did not get all excited about them till he priced some. Apparently he had a.customer order a.huge lot, put down a deposit and never picked them up. Been on his shelf over a year now. We did a little haggeling and now I own 250,000 aluminum gas checks in .22, .30, .357 & .429 calibers.
Before I start wearing out the Google task bar and hitting the books, what.are.the pros and cons of aluminum gas checks compared to copper? I guess they can't suck too bas or would be out of production by now. If standard bullet prices keep climbing or get impossible to source I figure with this many extra gas checks and my personal favorite lead.alloy for rifle bullets I won't have to worry about bullets for a.couple of decades.
