Is that 400 grains or is that the spine? If its the weight is that before broadhead? If that is the total weight then your speed is about 240 ft per second with 49 ft-lbs of KE. If the actual weight is 500 after adding the 100 g broadhead then your speed will be about 211 ft/sec with about 47 ft-lbs of KE.

While the rage may open that if a little low KE for them to be used as the penetration will suffer. I am able to get about 70 KE out of my set up and use the rage Hypo's. I pretty good penetration and will normally pass through as long as I don't take out a shoulder. If I am going after turkey with same set up I will use a different broadhead to limit the penetration as I don't want a pass thru on a turkey.
