Thanks Mike, Got this info. for RS blanks which confirms what you said. 1208 & 1209 - very close on the measurments. The 1209 is smaller at the tip, which does not figure, and just slightly beefier at the butt, and you can throw up to 6 oz. ???

I wouldn't try to throw 6 oz on a SW 1209.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
