Default Arrow Guru's- tell me if it makes sense

My new arrows, properly spined, are Easton Epic 400's (26.5" long arrow, 60 lb single cam bow), and with a 125 grain tip weigh 409 grains. This is what I plan to shoot for this season.

However, I have some arrows left over from last years setup I would like to be able to salvage and not throw away. They are the old CX Eliminator 250's(no longer in production, can't find info on them), and with the 100 grain tip I shot last year weigh 364 grains. I was thinking of replacing the factory insert with a 50 grain brass insert to bump the weight up to 414 grains, and use them for my hog hunting. That way I can still use the arrows and all my 2 blade 100 grain Magnus broadheads I have been using for hogs. Does it makes sense, and should they shoot about the same, or is it a pot luck try it and see kind of thing? My hog hunting is pretty short range, if that helps any.
