I use Gas-Checks on my cast rifle bullets and my own concoction bullet lube
, been doing well with it for years. Long as speeds stay below 2200 fps , things are better than jackets , 2200-2400 is "iffiy" , and above that is TOTALLY out of the question. Lubed , lead bullets with gas checks "Slide" out the barrel "Slick-as-a-button"
My plain base pistol cast bullets get Alox lube and stay below 1200fps. Think 22Mag 1950fps no gas check / powder lube.

I can't take that 65 series tire back , but thats OK I've already replaced one of the hay rake tire and the other one need replacing now. (Dry Rot)
I put the tire , tube , rim together in the house last night . Its pouring rain now but when it lets up some I'll go to the shop and add some compressed air to the mix , might even add some tire lube if the inner tube hold air.
If it holds air I'll bring it back to the house and set it by the wood stove for a while and hope for the best.
If it don't hold air ...
... could turn-into a trip to Lynchburg Choppers to see what my buddy Pat has in stock.
All that snow is just a bit North and West of us now , but the day ain't over YET.
