Make your own.
Montana Bullet Works
Missouri Bullets
Rim Rock bullets
I don't know if they have gas checks specifically but they have a lot of different variety.

There are online sources.
BUT I can't recall exactly which one of the ones listed above is closing or already closed. I want to say it's "Missouri Bullets" but it could be Montana Bullet Works. I'll have to research it a bit.
I cast my own,, but I realize many folks do not want to cast bullets themselves. And many have very valid reasons.

I cast my own 44 mag bullets and did not use gas checks for my heavy loads!
These are not bullets but they are cast lead. Some are cable loaded and the others are spring loaded. All will ruin your day when they are finished if you are on the wrong side of them.
Montana Bullet Works - Custom Ladle Cast Bullets
Extensive selection of hard cast bullets from original LBT, RCBS, & Lyman moulds. Custom ladle cast for handloaders: both competitive & recreational shooters.

I have ordered from them in the past
Also, you might try a google search for cast lead bullets for sale. Leave off the gas check part.
Sometimes the gas check part of a website will not show up until you start searching the site.

Give Jessie Clark at Tennesee Valley Bullets a call.

Tell him Paul B. sent you. You can look him up on facebook if you're so inclined but I bought of his bullets for my .45 ACP and some other stuff as well and service is good and reasonably fast. Take the time to discuss with him just what you want and he'll try to accommodate getting what you want. You might also ask his advice as he knows his stuff.

How many were you looking for? I may have some left. If I do, it would be a partial box.
Sorry, I don't have any left. :You could go with powder coated...

It's not very expensive to get a Lee pot, a hot plate, a quality mold (MP 4-cav brass with interchangeable solid and various hp pins are less than $150 delivered), Lee mold handles, and a Lee push through sizer. Bullet alloy is also available reasonable and is easily tailored to your loads.
To setup to powder coat the bullet is also affordable. An old cool whip container and a toaster oven. Powder is available from many sources. In a 44mag it will eliminate any need for gas checks.
I also have gas check makers from Mattesons Machine shop that cranks them out using aluminum flashing if you really want to use them that cost about the same as two boxes of factory checks.
Many people use the "don't have any time" excuse for not making their own bullets. In two hours total I can make a couple hundred cast, powder coated, gas checked, and sized bullets perfectly tailored to my gun and the game or target I intend to use it on.

Bigbore5 is correct.
Casting your own bullets isn't hard. Remember, our Country founders did it all the time & won the American Revolution using home cast balls.
The initial expense isn't very prohibited when compared to the retail pricing of bullets.
You can buy Lee stuff including molds and be set up easily. I recently couldn't pass up a deal I'd found on a set-up. It was a Lee 20 lb pot, a PID Controller, (that controls the temperature of the lead constantly,) a quality hotplate, and 50 lbs of muffin ingots of lead for the sum of $150.00. Add a mold,, and I can begin casting with it. Lee molds aren't expensive & a good place to start. I prefer the MP brass molds,, with their nose options, but they do cost more than Lee molds.
Powder coating is easy, not expensive, & WELL worth it. Add a sizing die,, and you are in business. About 90% of my shooting nowadays is done with my own cast bullets.
Just yesterday,, I have a young man, a neighbor who stopped by to get 100 of my cast bullets for his .357 Maxi. He loves them. He's not gotten into casting yet,, as he's just been reloading for a bit over a year now. But he wants to learn. I plan on teaching him.
