vikingsrule92 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I just got 2 #3 double stamp grippers from Dennis Rogers site for about $60 shipped, much better then I figured I'd ever find on here. http://www.dennisrogers.net/blog.php (See July 25th). They're both black springed with captains of crush on the bands so I concluded they're from 2003. Although one came in blue bordered packaging the other in red. One of these is fairly average with a 2 7/8" spread. The other has a MONSTROUS 3 1/16" spread. This one is just ridiculous, it will probably cal in AT LEAST the high 150s, I frankly can't wait to get it cal'd. I'll post pics of these both later on tonight.

vikingsrule92 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Steve, are your weights calibrated? Are you sure your set up is dialed in? All of your numbers seem really high. I haven't calibrated mine yet, I don't have my own RGC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure about the setup... but the other 3s I tested came out to be 147 148 152 152 155 156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I know, I saw them all on the RGC thread. Yeah but your #2.5s seem really high. Are your plates calibrated though? It could be fine and you got psycho #3s, if you read my log you'd see mine feel really damn hard too, they're just not cal'd yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Exactly, it's very important to cal the plates on a postal scale because I've seen some of Aaron's and Eric's 45s that were actually only 42-43lbs, add up any other variances and it can make a HUGE difference. Now you probably need to cal them on a postal scale and re-calibrate all of your grippers since I'm guessing you don't remember exactly which plates you used for which.

Bob Lipinski Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 From the other thread, I didn't see a spacer in your setup. That can sometimes throw the results high. If anyone else wants grippers from around that time, Sybersnott has some up for trade I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incindium Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I think Postal Scales is a bit overboard for just calibrating your own grippers. But atleast weight your plates on a digital scale thats had precision to 1/5 or 1/10th a pound. And like Bob said gotta have that spacer.

knyaz Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 will definately remember to use the spacer next time I calibarate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
