Is it just me or do bear razorhead greenies have a 5/16" ferrule? My 11/32 broadhead adapters fit alright but the stock ones are a bit smaller which fit good. Or am I just noticing the bumps for the bleeders stopping the adapter since its dented into the ferrule I.D.?

Actually the Razor head ferrule is 21/64, 1/64 over 5/16 and 1/64 under 11/32.

File or sand the bumps from the inside of ferrule, if using wood shafts no need to file as they press into the wood.

If you file the inside I'm guessing the bleeders won't snap into the ferrule divots anymore?

They will still snap in. Try it. I've used Razorheads since 1964.

I will give it a go, thanks. I bought a dozen or so this year so I want to use them this season!

Yes .328 why they did that I could never figure out

Not hard to figure out, at that size it will very nicely fit either the 5/16" and the 11/32" wood shaft. or in the case of an aluminum shaft any shaft between a 15 size and a 23 size, its really a catchall size.

It would be nice if they made steel adapters that were 5/16 but I'll figure out filing it down to use 11/32"

As an update: I filed the nubs on the inside down and it worked as expected to install 11/32 inserts. I'm using a 75gr steel adapter and it's short so it still leaves the slot clear for the bleeders.

Yep, it is an in betweener. works great on wood arrows.
