OK. I just weighed my latest dozen 5575 GT blems from Big Jim on an accurate manual Pacific powder scale. They are full length with nocks only. Here's the data and the verdict:

309
311
309
310
312
312
310
310
310
311
311
312

Two of them (309) are outside the advertised weight tolerance of ±2 gr. at 9.3 gr./in.

But once I get them cut down, wrapped, four-fletched, inserted, epoxied and fronted with a 175 terminator... really... 1 gr isn't a big deal.

All spun with a barely discernible wobble.

I'm happy.
