Let us know how it goes Jon. Should retain a good edge but could be a bit harder to file.

i use the 73lpx chain for 3/8 and 21lpx for 325,noticed on the 325 chain you tend to get a chrome cutter every now and again,bugger to sharpen until you break thru the chrome

 

Funny you should say that - fitted a fresh loop of 3/8 LPX on Monday and one cutter the file just would not touch, no way no how, and a few of the others took a bit of work but were fine. I'd never encounterd it before now - plan was if I couldn't get it to file was just dremel the cutter right off and be done with it, but finally managed to break through the chrome today

 

Have tried a bit of all sorts - used to run nothing but Oregon and nevr had a problem with them, but have run a few stihl chains in 3/8 in the woods and really like it as it's agressive right out of the box. Don't mind the Husky chain either - looks like oregon but stamped husky. Have run a few 325 carlton and windsor chains and really don't mind them, especially for the price they are. Carlton chains always seemed to stretch quick and needed a lot of the raker removing to make it cut well - Windsor similar but not quite so bad.
