Title: VPA 3 blade experts - What do I have here?
Post by: Tedd on June 16, 2015, 06:20:00 PM
I really like the 175 gr 3 blade VPA cutting diameter. It really works for me. I'm using 250 points for the best tune with my newest BW PCH.
Left is the standard 175 gr VPA with is only advertised in one cutting diameter (1 1/8")  Right is the 250 that came when I ordered 250 gr VPA from Big Jim's.
I'm assuming that 250 is a 1 1/4" cutting diameter?    (http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p714/tas0323/18043CCD-3F61-463F-9584-D3C4A6259940_zpsr055vywv.jpg)

None of these measure 1 1/8".
Looking at the VPA site they list two diameters for the 250. I'm guessing I have the 1 1/4"?
is the 1 1/8" 250 the same diameter as that green 175?

Tedd, on a 1 1/8" 3 blade, if you drew a circle around the 3 blade points it would be an 1 1/8" in diameter.

I'd guess your right, the green is probably 1 1/8 and the 250 looks like 1 1/4".  Shoot the correct one for your tune and you'll be happy

Thank you.
I did just now find the package. The 250s are 1 1/4".
