so I load a lot of different calibers, many with cast bullets...
... right now I ramping up for a "wildcat" 45 Black powder Magnum in a strengthened gun, that can shoot smokeless loads... the case is a standard 460 S&W case, that I'm knurling the head stamps off of... the loads will be average to just over factory 45 Colt loads using bulky powders like Trailboss, maybe AA 5744, IMR 4759, or similar... while I doubt I'll need a gas check, got me thing "just where to you "need" to use a gas check???"
does it relate to pressure, burning temp of the powder, volume of powder??? or something else, or a combination of several...
I understand "why" just don't know the forsures about what changes cause you to cross that line...
