I've heard so much about the steels, and the photos of the darts in real life are literally quite stunning considering the prices involved, so I'm thinking of getting one to try.
Does anyone know if the 18 g weight stated is the whole dart weight, or barrel weight only?

40.5 mm / 6.9 mm width / 90% sounds like it's moderately drilled, and deeply drilled if it's 16 g barrel weight. If it's 18 g barrel weight, that gives me some room to add weight, though not as much as I would like.

I have the stealth softtip darts 18g. I believe that is set up weight but it's been a long time since I weighed them. I'm on the road going to a tournament for the weekend so I can't check them for you. Nice darts though

Thanks for the reply Tormentor, appreciate it.
No hurries on my side ... if you could weight the barrel alone, and have a peek at how deeply it's drilled, that would be great! Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Thanks again Bro! Realized that for the most part, I'm a center or center slightly rear gripper, with the possibility to do 3/4 front if the geometry is right.
Now waiting on Tormentor to hear about how deeply the dart is drilled. 16 g is way too light for me.

Sounds like it's really, really hollowed out then, considering it's 90% with those dimensions. Hmm ... affordable enough to start shoving lead and stuff in to experiment with! Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

OJB, is there any way you could use a caliper or poke inside to see how much the dart is drilled, please? Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

In the photo is the McCoy darts with a set of Harrows power points fitted ,,,, and with most of my soft tip darts , the power points are to long to even screw in flush ,, with these darts the fit like they were made for them ,, and work surprisingly well,,,,, it is the same for both ends of the dart ,, nice deep hole on both sides,,,

I take it that the power point freely goes in all the way upon impact, and if it's the same at the back end, that means I have some room to stuff lead or tungsten shavings in ...
