I'm new to reloading, but would like to do so for my 1895G in .45-70.  I've read here and elsewhere that gas checks are necessary for cast bullets fired from my ported rifle.  What are GC's for, and why are they important in my rifle.

Thanks, and nice website!

I forgot to add that I'm looking at the 405 g bullet for hog hunting here in central California.  Relatively big animals, thick skinned, heavy cartilage plates.

Thanks!
