Brass Weights

[PinewoodPerformance]

We have just come into a large amount of Brass stock. I am not sure if any of you have used this for weights but we tried it last night and It seems like it has double the weight density of the stainless steel we like to use and it cuts much easier... I may have some product
out once the site launches later this month. Has anyone got the density profiles on this? I would like to see Stainless, Brass, Class I and II Copper, Lead and Tungston. Tungston is not practical in my opinion due to cost and difficulty machining. I am guessing the materials get more dense in the order I listed them but am not sure, I am at work so willl be hard to research this until later so if anyone wants to take the ball and run go for it!

We have been using used tungsten carbide inserts, the type used by machine shops. They come in all sizes and most machine shops will give you all you need as long as they are used. Just use epoxy to hold them in position.
