Buy a 3/8" (or metric equivalent). Take it home. Open the package. Weigh the chuck on your gram scale. If it weighs more than 258 grams, grind excess material from the chuck, using your bench grinder. If it weighs less than 258 grams, add lead tape until you get the weight. If you don't have a grinder, then use the chuck at whatever weight it is and interpolate. If you don't have a gram scale, take the chuck to your local post office and have them weigh it. If none of the above works, use a 5-iron head. Shim it on woods, use it as is on irons.

 

Better still, use the actual head for freq. measurements.

Arnie thanks but I thought  drill chucks.
 were  sold by  size ie 1/4" etc (or metric up here in Canada)  I think I would get a  very strange look if I went  to the hardware store and asked for a 258 gram chuck
