Where can I find 175 grain judos? I currently have the 125s with washers behind them to get them heavy enough. I also grabbed the ace blunts. I like them a lot but I want the extra grab of a judo.
I add bird shot and cook it in to get Judos up to 160 - might be able to fit some more to get to 175
Some brands, like Gold Tip, allow weights behind the insert. A 50 grain weight behind the insert would put you at 175 grains exactly. Other brands, like VAP, offer inserts in different weights, which would accomplish the same thing.
Get 135 grain Judo points with 42 grain inserts = 177 grains. This is what I shoot.

Ditto......super simple!!!!
I use the same 42 grain adapters with my Zwickey Deltas, and Judos also.
Will these weight adapters work with weighted brass inserts? I already have a 100gr brass insert on my arrows.

If you're talking about the 42-grain adapters, then yes. They have the industry standard thread for inserts.

A plumbing supply that carries Plumber's Wool, looks like steel wool, but is lead. It is not used much and a 5 # box will last years. Use it to add weight, or match weights.

Yes...you dont need to "add weight"...the adapters with the glue ons are all you need.

Ditto this.
Another option I read about and just tried last night. Drill Ace hex heads and install short pieces of weedeater line. Make sure hole is small enough that the line is a tight fit.

If they are glue on I do what Cory has posted.
For my glue-ons, I have had good luck with wrapping copper wire around the judo and then coating it with epoxy.
