Gotcha. The only reasons I think a second run would’ve been cool was less cross-hatching on the surface and sharper edges.

All China clays I believe have those rounded edges due to the necessities of the injection molding process.

Ah, I see. For some reason I thought that some of the newer China clays had sharper edges, but I must have been mistaken.

The Royals look like they might be slightly more well defines. I just mean I don’t think they can be close to truly “sharp” like clay chips.

How are the racks that come with the Amazon Bybelly case? Do they fit Paulsons ok?Do I have the thing for you!

Someone was going to do it, so I figured why not me. I have the Amazon Brybelly one. Has felt sturdy thus far and it fits Matsui racks which is a plus.
I didn't use them. Don't buy that birdcage. Mine broke with chips in it. Not a good time.

That is unfortunate
Thank you for the heads up!
ABC sold some better birdcage recently. Mine has been pretty excellent thus far. Check with them. It fits Matsui racks great.That is unfortunate

Thanks again. I have Chipco racks and have been happy with those so far. The fit my chips nicely
Just picked up the following cases, thanks for this thread!

I am Versa all the way!
Same! I have a 600-chip case and a 1000 chip case and both are excellent.
Thank you @Eloe2000 for posting about the Versa cases: after comparing with the other options, I've bought the 500 chip briefcases and a 600 chip carrier
Bonus: for Justin Rack users, the racks with lids will
a) fit well
b) be a bit easier to extract the bottom racks (their design works well with this case)

Do you need spacers for Justin’s racks? Is there any wobble? Or is a traditional rack (unique/Paulson) a tighter fit. Specifically for great condition RHC similar to those diamond jacks and same Versa cage). @FreeBop59. @JeepologyOffroad am I correct to remember you have one?Thank you @Eloe2000 for posting about the Versa cases: after comparing with the other options, I've bought the 500 chip briefcases and a 600 chip carrier

The Justin Racks stack on top of each other with tabs & notches--they have less wobble in my eyes than using more traditional racks.
When I closed the halves of the Versa carrier together, it felt comfortably snug when the foam pressed against the racks.
I'm going with the Justin Racks and Versa 600 chip carriers--it's a more compact solution for me compared to the Apache cases.
@doublebooyah85 ,
To follow up with your question a bit more, I measured the Justin Rack versus the "closest" Paulson-style rack that I have (I don't have any Chipco, Paulson, or Unique racks for comparison). Using the conversion of 66.7 mm = 2.626 inches (about 2 5/8 inches), here is a measurement of the Justin Rack first:
It's pretty close to 2 5/8 inches--I don't have any wobble, and I don't need a spacer for any barrels (it's snug without feeling tight for the barrels).
Here's a measurement of my non-Paulson rack that I previously tried with the Paulsons:
I now understand why the forum advice is to look for 66.7 mm; this rack is clearly more than 2 5/8 inches. I didn't need a spacer, but I could push an entire barrel up or down to where I could almost use a spacer.
So between the good fit for Paulson barrels in the rack and the terrific stacking of closed racks, I think I've found my preference for Paulson racks

What size Justin racks are you referring to? I heard the 40mm ones don't have notches that stack on each other.
I’m referring to the 40 mm Justin racks—they do have notches that enable stacking (like my picture in this thread)
