I've got Beman ICS Hunter 400's cut at 28". With a 100 gr tip I believe I'm around 370 gr. You could put a lighter head on and get you close but your FOC will obviously be affected.

Satellite Platinum 2980'scut at 28" w/ a 100 grain tip will weigh abot 355 grains with Blazers. They are .001 straightness, 7.8 gpi, and 0.359 spine (perfect out of my 316 IBO 70 lb / 30" Pearson Stealth)

You can buy them for about $55 a dozen brand new b/c they've been discontinued. Check ebay.

I'm in the same boat. At 28" arrows, you can get goldtip xt hunter 5575 4"vane arrows and a 125g muzzy broadhead and it'll put you at 354.6grams.

Anything weighing between 7.5 and 8 grains per inch will get you real close to 350 grains.

Easton lightspeeds
Gold Tip ultra lites
Carbon Express maximas (black)

The Gold Tip ultra-lite pro 22 series, I use the glue in points and add screw in weights to them, with 2" Blazers my 28" arrows are 350 gr. With the standard inserts and 100 gr. point they are 360 gr. With the glue in points you can add or subtract weight to get exactly the weight you want.
My CX Maxima 350's cut at 28" with 2" blazers and 100 gr. point weigh 377 gr.
