Closed My Hg 300

[mwinsl01]

I closed my hg 250 110 pounds yesterday

today i closed my hg 300 128 pounds pressure 3 sets of 5 the spread is only 2.3 though in my negative sets.

I am getting my 2.5 coc on next tuesday and work on that for negatives and start working on closing the 2 as the goal gripper. I have a coc 3, but do not think i am ready to do negatives on that. I cannot close my 2 yet and it is only 117 pounds per my weight scale, but it has a 2.75 spread, and i think this is what is holding me back. I am use to a 2.5 to 2.2 inch spread, which is easy to set with hg grippers.

At any rate I made my 2006 goal of being able to close my easy hg 300!

HG's vary so much... wow, you can close an HG300 but not a #2? I thought HG300's were supossed to be a bit harder than that... wow.

I recently closed my HG300 after not being able to get through the last 1/16" for a long time. In fact I closed my 2006 #3 and held shut for close to 20 sec...before I finally overcame my Hg300....and the spread on my HG is fairly small also...

They do vary alot. I finally calibrated my HG300 yesterday. Granted it is filed a bit, but it came out at 150lbs, which is about average for a #3 based on Greg's testing. But since they do vary alot, you can usually only know where they are relative to your other grippers unless you calibrate them.

on a mechanical weight scale the hg 300 comes out at 128 pounds

the 2 comes out at 116-117 pounds.

the hg 300 is hard to close the last quarter of an inch

the 2 is hard from start to finish, i think i just need to work on the sweep, and i should be good, because the hg 300 is harder to keep shut then the coc 2. I just bought my coc grippers a few weeks ago so i am used to a 2.2 - 2.6 inch spread.

the coc 2 gripper is 2.75-2.8 and is hard to set. i will work on it and the coc 2.5 which i will get next week.

I just wanted to clarify one thing from my previous post. The 150# reading was made using a redneck gripper calibrator, not a weight scale. Two different animals and the numbers are not related. If you are using the weight scale method that is fine as it will give you a relative reading for how far apart your grippers are.
