String material diameter?

I'm coming to the end of my roll of 8125 and was wondering if anyone knows which other string materials produce the same diameter string at 18 strands with a .021 diameter centre serving. I get a good nock fit with no2 groove Beiter nocks. I have been looking at Brownell astro flight, 8125G, Angel majesty and Angel ASB. How do these compare size wise?

Hello Dave, All I do when using a "new" string material is to just make a tiny sample string on the two post ends of the jig and leave the ends of all materials used attached to the spools. Then serve an inch long length with the serving material I have, then try the nock fit, too tight or too loose a fit and everything can be unwound from the dummy string and reused as you didn't cut anything, then try again with two strands adjustment till that nock fits just right, sado that I'm I actually mic the gap of the nock and get the string to the very closest diameter I can to match.
