Field points

#1 Post by Jamesh76 »

I have a ton of field points. But none in 125 grain which are good with the diameter of a 1816.... seems like it pulls foam from my target. Does anyone have. Recommended diameter field point for 1816 which would be the same diameter?

You can put your field points in a drill chuck and file a champfer on the back edge and it won't pull your target apart.

Thx. I will see how that works. Going up 25 grains on point weight. If it messes up tune.... I wasn't close enough to begin with.
