How are you guys attaching your gas checks?
I tried this for the first time for 30-170gr FRN PC bullets. If I pressed the Hornady gas checks onto the bullet in place and drove it though my Lee sizing die, the gas check was concave slightly. I resorted to then fitting them by hand onto the base of the bullets as straight as possible and then using a hammer to tap them into place before pushing them through the sizing die.
Maybe I should use a case deburring tool to shave the base slightly so the gas check would align better?
