    What would be a better setup. 483 grains at 260 72ft lbs .577 momentum
    or 458 grains at 269. 73ft lbs .54 momentum
    got new arrows and not sure what weight to go with upfront

    I'm partial to heavier tips.

    If you don't have them get a set of field tips in different weights and see what you shoot better with.

    Really, you will be hard pressed to see much difference.

    I am not sure on foc as I don't have the arrows yet.
    Arrows are carbon express pass through extremes 350. Cut at 27" with 44 gr insert. Vanes and 4 inch wrap
    only difference in weight is either 125 or 100 gr. Tip.

    I used to shoot the same arrows and didn't notice a difference between 100gn and 125gn even with fixed blade broadheads out to 50yards

    Like said those are pretty similar. You can go onto Gold Tip site and enter all your info in to get FOC. Just need to know all your weights. i.e. knock, veins, inserts, GPI
