Don't have a .500 except for BP.

I made one to use for my 45-70 from Ed's plans it works great.
BTW the .45 Gas checks also work for PB on my 44 cast boolits.

Those .500 checks are really spendy, aren't they? I would be interested in a check maker for the Big 5 too.

Almost have to take out a small loan to buy them !!!!

I have one (Freechex III).... I use it with a Harbor Freight arbor press.... I think Duke in Maine has one as well..... Well worth the money helping keep my .500 fed....

Is Pat Marlin the one who makes the Check Makers?

[ReloaderFred]

Yes, he is. There are numerous threads about his products. I've got the .35 caliber Checkmaker, and waiting for the .35 and .44 caliber Plain Base Checkmakers. He's working on them now.

Hope this helps.

I searched for his link through CastPics, but seems his website is down for maintainence. I've got enough Gators for a while.
I try to be cost effective as possible when loading, but my time is has value as well. Gator checks are inexpensive enough that it's hard justifying making the smaller calibers. I do have a 6mm check maker II, and it does make good checks, just tedious.

I'm definitely going to have a .500 cal version Checkmaker™ but I have other calibers with older pre-orders I have to get to first. If I could wave a magic wand and get her done today I would.

I need a Jeanie- Samantha female version. Wait a minute, I wouldn't get nothing done with her around either...

If you were talking about my links justingrosche, it's right here below.
