Title: 50 Grain Brass Inserts for GT blems( FOUND EM!!)
Post by: Crittergetter on June 07, 2016, 04:25:00 PM
I need some 50 Grain brass inserts for my g/t blems. I can't seem to find anything but 100 grain in brass. I am currently using the aluminum inserts.  I don't wanna have to retune so I want to keep using 50 grains. Anybody know where to get some?

Randy, I looked at their website and it looks like they make a 60 gr brass insert. We should've looked at it when you were here earlier. It says that the shop just down the road from me is a dealer. You may want to call On Target in Canton. It also says they are a dealer - maybe they have them in stock.

I bet the extra 10 gr won't make much difference.

Thx guys, I'll look into it some more.
Big Jim only has aluminum in 50 grain from what I see on the website.

You are still nowhere...those 60 grain inserts fit the Lasers which are crossbow bolts...and you still do not know where to find 5/16 50 grain brass inserts, only that they should fit...I would use the 100 grain inserts (which I actually do with my 75/90's) and drop my point weight by 50 grains

Sorry, didn't realize those 60's were for "other". Maybe just cut the 100's down with a Drexel or similar.

Yes sir, that's why I questioned the 5/16 which is .3125 od. I can't believe I can't find a simple 50 grain brass insert that fits a gt blem.

RMS Gear has 100 and 50 grain inserts that will work.  Who can tell me where to get those pesky 75 grain inserts?

Unless you use HIT inserts, the only way I know of is to get 100gr inserts and a grain scale. The trim the 100gr down to 75gr.
