Have you tried 3 Rivers Archery Supply in Indiana?

Kustom King Archery also might have something. They are a traditional long bow outfit, but sell most everything for wooden, and aluminum arrows. Great folks too! Gabriella is probably the person you'll get on the phone if you call, she is very helpful.

Good Luck!

Never heard much out of Hoss so I got tired of waiting and ordered 2 packs of the 60gr from Ethics. They showed up yesterday and appear that will work fine, the OD fits the 2219 just right. These are in the clearance section so not sure if they are discontinuing them or what? I believe they had 60,100 and 150gr so get them while you can.
Greetings. I am trying to figure this out also. I contacted Ethics Archery, and talked to Bruce. (This is the guy you want to talk to. He is in tech support) This is the only inserts available for Aluminum shafts. (2219) .305ID - 60, which you have. 150, and 175 gr. I am building arrows for a 315 Micro, and been wondering which to use... Here is my weights- Shaft: Easton Mag, 16.5", 2219 is between .226/.229 grs. - Insert: 150gr. - Nok: Plastic, 9.6 gr. Lumenok, .28grs. - BH: 100 or 125gr. -Wrap: (about 6/8 grs. - Vanes: (3) @19.2 Grs./ 2' Blazers... Complete Arrow: With 125gr. BH, About a 545/555 gr. Arrow. - With 100gr., BH 520/535 gr. Arrow (all appx.) I hear so many different ways to do this. Some say do not use any weight in the front, for best FOC Others say, must add weight. Let me know how you make out. I am curious as to what the best combo, will work best. As shown, this arrow weight is with the 150gr. Insert... just wanted to share the info., that I have. Good luck, J.
Appreciate the info. I havn't figured out all the weights just yet but here is what I'm going to try 6 of each and see what shoots better.
1. 16" 2219 ( so I can get 2 out of each shaft ) with the 60 gr inserts, 100gr broadhead, 3 3" vanes and Lumenoks.
2. 20" 2219 with normal aluminum insert, 100gr broadhead, 3 4" vanes and Lumenoks. This combo is what came with my first xbow a WR Raider at about 300fps if I remember correctly and is a tack driver out to 50 yrds with Thunderheads.

That's the plan right now, I have plenty of shafts to experiment with.
