Default Finished arrow weights- How close is enough?

I had an enlightening experience the other day. I weighed each of my components (field points, broadheads, and arrows), recorded the weights and matched them to get my arrow weights as close as possible. My hunting arrows are withing 4 grains of each other.

When I get my ACCs, I plan to do the same, but it will probably be much easier, as they tout a .5 grains tolerance, and my GT5575 hunters were all over the place, as were some of my field tips.

If need be, I figure I can grind my field tips to match, and I'm pretty sure my broadheads were within 1 grain of each other, and have even considered putting a small nut on them and grinding the threaded area down to a matching spec, the spinning the nut off to re-cut the threads so they will be useable.

How close in weight are your finished arrows? How close is close enough?
