I had an expert pick out what arrow I should shoot. I've used that one, and one just very slightly different, for practices for the last fifteen years.
I didn't try to reinvent the wheel. His advice was long used.

I would recommend a 500 spine or lighter.
Running your numbers the Easton Redline 520 with 4" feathers and 100 grain tips @ 24 1/2" would be a great match.
The Easton FMJ 500 setup the same would also be a great choice.

Ok that helps. When you crunched my numbers what was the spine they recommended?
The 24 1/2" arrow would work alright, but I'd run it with blazers.. would that make a difference?
Also, what would you recommend is a good hunting arrow weight for my setup? (25 DL, 60 DW)
The Easton FMJ's look decent at a final weight of around 370 grains.. What do you think?

The 520-540 is about perfect but the 500 isn't too bad either.You could cut them a little long and be a little better.
You might try to go with a heavy foc (above 20%)on a 500 as well,that might increase your potential penetration. I would even go 25" on the 500's with the heavy weight up front.
