Keith ran all of his magnum loads with BHN of 10. Gas check loads can shoot a bit better at high temps with a hot gun though and it makes it rare to get any leading.

That narrows it down to CFE Pistol and Universal from the stuff I have on hand. I noticed one of the bullets from the Lyman manual is a gas check. Assuming a good bullet fit, and a 12 -15 BHN bullet, what level of pressure would require a gas check? Bob You don’t need a gas check with the MBC 215. They are nominal 18 on the low to 20 BHN on the high. That bullet I have personally driven to just shy of 1400 with no leading or gas check in a 73 vintage 41 mag Blackhawk.
