What would be the ideal amount of thread engagement into the shaft for a 3/8-10 modified screw? Just curious. Some screws that you can purchase seem to be threaded long enough to give 1 1/4 of length. I’ve seen some at 1 3/8. Obviously longer equals more weight but they can also be hollowed to reduce weight as well. What are some opinions and experiences with short or long screws.?
 
I thread 1 1/2. The small difference as far as weight goes is miniscule.
