Thanks

This is rather a moot point, but since this is the tech thread I'll chime in a throw a challenge flag.

2" Blazers (standards) are 6gr each.... not five. Although a few do weight in at 5.9 on the RCBS reload scale.

Nit picky I admit.... but we archers are that way.

I'd rather go upstairs and look at my RCBS reloading scale that is accurate to 1/10 of a grain. I weighed ten blazers... and they were all either 5.9 or 6.0 grains.

Or you can trust the powers that be in the marketing/advertising/merchandising department.... like I said.... pretty moot... but this is the technical section, so discrepancies are looked at hard. Don't mean to ruffle any feathers (no pun intended ).


Just to let you know its calibrated.....

According to their website, blazer vanes are 6 grains each. You can go to the website of any manufacturer, or call them, and they'll be glad to give you weights of vanes, nocks and inserts. SwampCollie's scale is accurate

I hope so... I haven't managed to blow myself up yet with any of my reloads!
