Great choice. I love my 405 and feel you will be very happy with it.

I am shooting a 428 gr arrow at 362 fps with a boo string with whiskers. It's insanely accurate to boot.

Keep us posted as I am sure you will love it.

Oh try some zombie slayers and a FOC at deer and be prepared to be amazed. :wink:

Yes! If you do end up shooting Shwackers or FOCs, get the appropriate weighted inserts and consider offset, not helical. 4 degree offset is more accurate for me than helical. Reverse for fixed blades or expandibles with blades more offset(Spitfires, etc).

Nice looking blackbuck in your avatar. I took a nice one this past march in Texas but I think the horns on yours are bigger.

I shoot a 405 with 505 grain bolts and am consistently getting 350 fps plus- so at 400 grains you should have no problem getting your desired speeds.

Good choice, I loved my M355, but always wondered about the 405 and made the switch myself
