RE: Penetration: weight vs. diameter
The Axis arrow I'm using are the ST's - they are all carbon and the 400 series weigh 9.0 gpi. Axis FMJ are quite a bit heavier and, although I haven't put the calipers on any yet, don't appear to be as slim as the ST Axis. Minemike out at about .262". The A/C Super Slims are even skinnier at .252".
