Default Arrows

What kinda arrows do you guys use for hunting and why? I shoot a 101Airborne @29" 70# Recommend something for me. I had some heavy arrows I shot through the cronograph @285 ...,.??? yes 285. So I went to the pro shop to discuss arrow and speed,...long story short He sold me a few GT Ultralight 400 now the bow is shooting 318.....However I am finding that (though still within kill zone) I am shooting all over the dang place!! and according to standard I should be shooting 5 grains per pound:
5x70=350 right my arrow is 29.5"
29.5x7.4 (gpi for ultralight) =218.3+100 gr. tip=318
318+25 gr. for 3-4" duravanes=343 + whatever the insert and knock weighs.......Isent that cutting that to close and will I have penetration problems using a rage 2 blade......alright I know im a freak but this is realy eating at my nerves. Mabey go a little heavier to a GT Pro??? or what do ya think of the Radial X weaves? I used them with my Tomkat and they shot well
