I see you've already chosen an arrow. But I have to give my two cents.
I had nothing but problems with FMJs. I couldn't get them to fly out of my bow, and I couldn't hold a group worth a ****. The spine was on, and to this day can't understand why.
I switched up to the Beman MFX team realtree and haven't looked back. Beman makes a great arrow, that won't break the bank.

Jeff, Gold Tip Perm. Crest Pro Hunter 7595
They will be my choice next year. I want alittle more than I have in GT's CAA @ 9.6 gpi. Check em out. Great tolerances, nice arrows. I have used the pro hunters in the past, but the perminant crest has the extra gpi.

RE: Who makes a good, heavy (10gpi+) hunting arrow?
im VERY happy with my Carbon Express Terminator XP Selects 6075s 10.6gpi...they seem to be very durable arrows...alot more durable than my old easton epics and ive seen alot of other shafts be shot...they are pretty thick walled compared to others and seem very durable..
they are a standard sized shaft so adding anything to them is about endless...throwin them out there, because they are relatively cheap for their specs...their specs really cannot be beat for their price...they do seem to be slightly stiff...so if you consider them, have someone run the numbers...your going heavy upfront...your best idea would be have someone run any numbers before buying and cutting shafts and gluing in heavy inserts...
(and i dont think your stuck with your insert choice...talk to the trad guys...there are a bunch of makers of heavier inserts...)
i cannot wait to hear your results after this setup tweak...

What are you planning to kill with a 200 grain broadhead and who makes it?
100gr. BH.....100gr. insert = 200gr. tip weight.
