I think you did the CCS work at Pacbay and those measurements were one of the reasons I started buying them and continue to use them. Now that you're at Batson Co., I wonder if we can expect to see any numbers on the Batson family of blanks? It would open up a lot of possibilities for me and maybe others as well.

That is always a possibility. We want to provide as much information as possible to all of our customers. I feel that if there was a specific blank you were looking at, we could go and run the numbers if you PM us directly.

Thank you Ken Finch for your question!

Hi Ken,
I did do the CCS at PacBay and will continue to be a strong advocate of the system here at Batson. It's so simple and it works so well for both development and for quality control that it just blows my mind that there are still detractors out there.
Anyways, to answer your question: Short answer yes, expect to see CCS data for Rainshadow blanks. Long answer, it will take time and will most likely be offered for newer models. Retroactively measuring hundreds of catalog blanks is time prohibitive, as it also was at my previous employer. The Rainshadow line is just plain massive, and if any of you out there taking Rainshadow CCS measurements for Intrinsic Power (in grams or grians) and Action Angle want to send them in, I'd be glad to add them to a spreadsheet for future publication. Thanks.

I wouldn't expect you to go back and run numbers for every blank Batson has offered in the past. Way too much work I know. But for current offerings it would seem to make good sense and allow more people to make these comparisons. As quick companies discontinue blanks these days its nice to be able to slide over and find something similar from another company if you need it.

I couldn't agree more Ken.
