Hey James I feel your pain pardner! I tan out of 120/220 for the first stage of my Loto so I used strait 220. After two days it had not got all the saw marks out of my tumble crosses! Plus it's notably slower to make a good slurry! Gotta order some 120/220!

I am with you on this one James. I tried the "good deal" Kingsley had on 80 grit one time and regretted it. I was throwing in extra in each load just to use it up. I really like my 46/70 first stage from the rock shed.

Chuck I am constantly coarse grinding and setting them aside to pick thru for various processing. i.e. segregating Gotta have that coarse coarse grit Chuck. 30/60 or 45/70
