The only ones I have seen are bigger. They still have the same threads though and will fit in a fmj. They just make it hard to pull your arrows out of some bag targets.

I am not aware of any 9/32" field points that weigh that much. Most field tips are a 5/16" diameter.

Ones from Three Rivers taper on the shaft side to 5/16" which is 10/32 or only 1/64" larger than the arrow shaft.

I shoot some 250 grains on fmj out of my Turkey Creek and they are the only arrows and bow I have that I can't shoot at my layered target because they pass through it.

You will probably have to make due with a larger field point. You made an excellent choice going with FMJ arrows.
