I have not.  If you have a close idea as to spine, go to the Easton site and look for something with a smaller range span. 
Here is a great link...

On aluminum, I would not go any thinner than a "16" wall.  Helps to prevent bending.  Years ago my brother was sold a dozen XX75 2312.  Worthless.  They bent and even broke easily

Start with the shafts full length and the desired point weight you want to use. You may want to get the test kit for points as well. Remember unless you want to buy expensive inserts points are your weight. Now if the inserts are threaded on the back end then you can add those brass weights. You can cut the shafts with a tubing cutter.

Haven't looked at the "test kit" ...I'm guessing fletched ?   See if they sell individual shafting (several places do) . Its nice to have bare shafts for a test kit in a given spine range.  If you go over 3 Rivers arrow  chart it will get you close.  Then pick which weights/ dia. in that slection more meet your goals...(Small dia/thick walled being good choices for hunters)Its always nice having a few different spined  arrows about for future  testing.  Several shops sell individual shafts from Eastons entire Camo hunter lineup at fair prices. Usually a spine from both spine boxes either side of what is recommendd is  good to have "on hand" in your test kit.  Lots of factors play into which spine is "Best" for you and your rig .

Best with your quest my friend......
