Without knowing what arrow you are shooting I will add that if it's something with a fully threaded insert like a standard Goldtip or carbon express, you can add a 7/8 8-32 setscrew to the back of the inserts for about$3 per dozen.  Theses weight 26 gr and open the door for 200 gr heads like the cutthroat.

I'm going into the woods with the new Bonebroadheads. They're only out in 125 or 200, so like Cutthroats you'd have to either add a little weight or adjust your length to compensate. Cutthroats are another good option, I just like the idea that the shape ofvthe Bonebroadhead puts the weight a little further foreward.

I'd run a long aluminium adapter in a 185 grizzly.  Ought to come out real close.
My thoughts exactly. Have done this myself and the ones I weighed were 228gr.

Hard to beat the 185 Grizzly on a long al adapter.
   I can get the Grizzlies scary sharp!

If anyone has some 185 Grizzlies on long Al adaptors that I could try let me know.  I'll start there and test for accuracy then if they shoot well for me build some dedicated shafts for them with all my heads oriented horizontal at my natural level of cant.

Garrett,
PM me an address and I will mail you one to tryout.
Thank you sir.  PM sent.  I'll have it back in the mail to you within a couple days of getting it in and sending it through my Block foam target to verify that they hold point of impact for me.  If it flies right for me then I'll order a dozen and have them ready by opening day.

I have had great results with the Abowyer Brown Bear and the titanium insert.   And, although I haven't tried the 225 yet, the Tuffhead 250s are darned good and pretty darn sharp right out of the pack!

Whatever you do, I encourage you NOT to use an aluminum screw in adapter!  That will definitely be the weakest point in your arrow! If you doubt that, compare what it takes to snap one to the same test on a titanium or steel adapter!

I've got some Steel Force Traditional series 225gr broadheads that I'd be will to trade or sell if your interested.
These are   http://www.3riversarchery.com/steel-force-broadheads-traditional-series.html  
right wing, single bevel, and actually weigh about 220gr. I have a 5gr weight that I put behind them to make up the difference. They've never been used beyond me seeing how they'd draw from my back quiver and on my bow. I'm not good enough to hunt yet, and I don't need the temptation.
I'd be willing to trade for some 60-65 Doug fir arrow shafts or some solid colored right wing green and orange 5" shield cut feathers. Would also trade for a good shooting glove.
