They do have a Dangerous Game Axis FMJ that just came out this year.They come in 250(spine.250) and 17.2 gpi and the 300(spine.300) and 15.5 gpi.Alot heavier then the standard Axis FMJ plus the new 250.

I shoot axis now and like em, but it is difficult to get the weight up. Will look for the fmjs in dangerous game!

I shoot some Beman Black Max MFX 300 with 100 gr. inserts and 175 gr. point and they weigh at around 675 grs.,I shoot them out of a 70#@27 21st Century Nova.The Black Max is 11.7 gpi,now replaced by the Realtree.They run about $40-45 a dozen cheaper then FMJ.I can imagine the Dangerous Game FMJ will cost even more the the standard FMJ.

You can get Easton FMJ Dangerous Game shafts at Lancaster Archery Supply for $129.95 a dozen.Kind of expensive but a great arrow if they fit your need for a heavy small diameter shaft,makes it alot easier to get those heavier weights.
