Anyone use soft gas checks made by CF Ventures? I saw these in a gun magazine,

Although I haven't used them, it's not an unknown procedure to build a chamber of a length of 2" pipe and two pipe caps (with a vent hole drilled) and to anneal regular gas checks by heating up and cooling slowly.

SO, you could easily compare your regular brand with your regular brand annealed. The idea of the chamber is to exclude oxygen and keep the checks cleaner.

Jim, are you talking about the thin sheets of special wax that you press into the case mouth?

I've used them. They help quite a bit fall, winter, and spring. They kill your loads in the summer. A very few minutes in direct sunlight turns the wax to liquid as does the temperatures inside a parked car, an ammo box, etc.
