Not the best solution, but how about a BAR and a 9/32 or 5/16 heavy weight tip? (3Rivers or Lost Nation) The BAR will make removal from the target a lot easier than just one of these on the 17/64" FMJ.
I shot FMJs in the past and found the inserts to be less than desirable. I replaced them with the GoldTip outserts for their Kinetics.
I had trouble with the HIT inserts moving back into the shaft with a hard hit. The slip resulted in a damaged shaft.

PDP EZ Pull from Lancaster Archery Supply...the tapered heel will need a bit of material removed to exactly match the shaft...I use a bench grinder

I am using 100 grain brass inserts and 100 grain field tips in my FMJ's. Not sure there is anything out there in 200 grain that will fit cleanly on the diameter shaft.

The heaviest I believe you will find in a 9/32" diameter (approx diameter of the FMJ) is 145 gr. You can get a 200 gr field tip that is 11/32" tapering to 5/16" at the edge that meets the shaft which will leave a slight lip (I believe these are the ones Bill Carlsen is referring to). I haven't found that lip to be of much consequence unless shooting at a very tight bag target, however you can easily remove that lip by chamfering it with a file.
Another option would be to foot the fmj with an aluminum shaft which will bring it up to approx 5/16" diameter. In that case you would want to chamfer the back edge of the footing to eliminate that lip. That's the route I go with Easton Axis shafts.
