Oh I dunno.....1/2" difference for the Deltas & Magnus I heads (+ the possibiliy of a 4-blade option), 7/8" for the SF, 5/8" difference for the Deadheads.

I'd say those measurements were pretty significant  ;)

Occasionally, just occasionally....bigger is better  ;)

i dunno dude, from the few deer ive killed, ive never wished for a smaller hole in any of em, but in several cases, a bigger hole would have been welcomed...

What is the difference between the 135 grain and the 160 grain Magnus 1 other than 25 grains?  I guess I could shoot either as I'm sticking a 125 grain steel adaptor into the 135 grain now, and I could just stick a 100 grain into the 160 and come up with the same weight... Does the 160 have a sturdier tip than the 135?

The Sasquatch is a good head, wide with great flight characteristics but, in my opinion is not very durable.  I broke the blade off one in a layered foam target once.

I used the same Sasquatch on my last two deer, 2 holes in both. That same head is leaving right now to try for a third, season closes Thursday. Bye.   :wavey:

Jeff,it appears to me that is the difference...I talked to Mike yesterday in Indy at a show and was showing him some pics. He made the comment that the Mag 1's that I was using, was more durable....I wish I'd have asked him then what the difference is but I think you're correct.....mine weight around 250 each with 100 gr. steel insert but I cut the end off the steel insert so I can use bleeders in them...about 1/16" off...Don
