Why not just get darts the weight you like - tungsten powder -I've heard it all!!

Not all darts come in every weight. If you shot a 23 gram dart all your life someone might want to stay at that weight. What if that same person found a dart they LOVE but it only comes in 22, 24, & 26 grams? Do they buy the 24 and drill it out or buy the 23 and fill the end up just a little?
Very easy solution to altering the weight of a dart a gram or 2.

Not something I would do personally, but I'd be very curious as to how heavy I could make my Hankey's. They have over 30mm of space to fill up. Would make for a neat experiment.

Tungsten is more dense than lead though. So if you filled the barrel with lead it would

weigh less than the the tungsten filled barrel. Because of this tungsten is the far superior

metal to be used for this application. Atomic weight is not the only factor to be considered.
