Sounds a little stiff. What`s your draw length?

2013 or 2016 to start, tweak with length and head weight.

I think Hot Hap and Killdeer are pretty much on the money.  IF you are drawing 28" with a 29" arrow, 2313 is way too stiff. Like Killdeer said, try the 2016, and she may also be correct about the 2013.  The 2016 is just a little tougher shaft.  
Good luck.

I second the 2013 or 16. I doot a 51# at 29 CM Hunter 2. 2016s with 125grain head fly great out of it.

If your draw and arrow are longer try 2018 or even stiffer.

All depends on your draw on that bow, point weight and arrow length.  I shoot my 51# with 31" 2117's and 145's.  Sounds stiff, but that's just me...with a near 29.75 draw on that particular bow. I'm one of the few guys who the Easton chart works for.  ;)
