I often leave short eye-to-eye slings made from 1/8” Amsteel Blue. The eyes are bury splices, with a > 6” buried core plus 1.5-2” buried tapered tail.  I know these tails are shorter than Samson’s recommendations… but does it matter for my uses? I always label these slings as "2500 lb bs end-to-end."

Samson gives an average tensile strength (ATS) of 2500 lbs for 1/8” Amsteel Blue, which is actually defined as the breaking strength between eye splices.

Here are the results for samples with 1.5” and 3” tapered tails. These were just pulled behind my Jeep (set-up below), between ~9mm-thick carabiners. Within the crudeness of the variation, one could argue that the 3” tails appear to be slightly stronger. But all samples were above the 2500 lb ATS.
