Curious if 452x can be used on a matrix 380 for the string?
Thanks

You bet, it's one of the better choices.

What about 450+ I've got a couple of rolls for my recurves ??? String count suggestions??

Are you sure about the numbers on Dynaflight? I emailed them and got 110 from them last year.xcaliber wrote:The 450+ has a single strand breaking strength of 155#, the D97 that is the stock string on the Matrix bows has a single strand breaking strength of 125# which makes the 450+ 20% stronger by strand. The stock endless loop string has 28 strands, so if you want the speed, I would say 28 strands in the Flemish twist would be strong enough to provide a good stable string. If you want to tone it down, 34 strands should do it.
JMHO

String style (endless loop or Flemish), what bow it is going onto, how good the person making the string are all variables when considering strand count.xcaliber wrote:Lancaster Archery Supply, and Bowhunter's superstore have that as the listed SS breaking strength, but BCY makes it, so I would go with their evaluation. You have to be careful about what is said on the internet. Probably have the 450+ listed wrong as well.
BCY offers a service where they'll record on a graph a string's breaking strength. Data from BCY direct is a good idea.
