452X is the best by far and the one I would recomend.

If you are new to string making 450 and D75 can be purchased for almost half the price of 452x in some places, so that is also somthing to consider.

As the others have stated, go the 452X. I made a string for my AR34 at the start of the year and it is still going strong. Near zero cree and the peep hasnt rotated.
Great stuff.

452x rocks! Doesn't stretch, move or budge a bit. My peep hasn't moved a bit since putting my new string and cables on, can't beat the stuff

Well I'm doing this in the morning as my Winner's Choice string promptly **** itself this arvo :mad: Lucky I had one of Rob's strings the right length in stock:D the fact that they are pre-stretched with no peep rotation will help me too seeing as the 3D Nats are only a few days away :o

:confused: Errrr, I do have my reservations about someone if they don't know their string materials.

Perhaps he should play around with some Dacron first. Get the hang of getting the tension even plus the serving can be frustrating the first few times.

Shooting with a string that has unevenly tensioned strands can be horribly painful. :D
