220 Field Point...anyone?

[Dave Bowers]

Anyone know who has 220 gr screw in field points? I am having a hard time locating them.

Thanks in advance

[MJB]

Check Three Rivers ?

[Dave Bowers]

Yeah I checked they have 200 and 250s..went clear past 220..lol

you're gonna have to do what I did.  Buy some 145 glue on's and put 75 grain adapters in them with hot melt.  I don't know if anyone makes a 220.  Mark

[Dave Bowers]

Thanks Mark are you talkin about the screw in adapter for glue on points?

[Blackhawk]

I bought some 125 glue on's and put 100 gr. steel adapters on them.  

A difference of 5-20 grains should not make any significant difference (if you're a shot like me anyway.)  :eek:

It's alot of work but I take 250gr field points and grind them down to 225gr.....

[Jim Wright]

If you have access to a machine shop or don't mind paying one , it would be easy for them to take a 250 gr. screw in field point down to whatever weight you want. You will possibly need to supply them with a shaft that has a screwed adapter installed, I was able to end up with 160 gr. screw in field pts. the same diameter as beman MFX shafting made this way from 200 gr. screw in field pts.

Thanks fellas, looks like I'll go wit the 145 and steel adapters.
I apprecaite all the info

What about just using brass washers from 3rivers?  5 gr each, won't 4 fit behind the point?

[Shooty1]

Might be easier to use the 50gr brass inserts w/ 175  points.

[Mike Brown]

You must be shooting Muzzys like me.........

[ozy clint]

desertdude does what i do. i just put a 250gr point in the chuck of a bush lathe (that's a drill in laymans terms, LOL) and use an angle grinder to bring them down to to desired weight. keeps the point in the centre that way.

[ozy clint]

might be cheaper than buying two components and probably less work than glueing. if you have a 'bush lathe' and a grinder that is.

[Dave Bowers]

Hey thanks for the other suggestions fellas. I musta missed those washers. I might give the grinder trick a whirl also and see which works out easier.
Don't think the brass insert will work; they only for carbon...correct?
Mike..yup I saw those Muzzy and had to give'em a try.
