So I’m assuming that they come in different weights and are used to gain arrow weight without the added cost of purchasing heavier broadheads?

Weighted inserts can do a few things. Add overall arrow weight, weaken spine to help with arrow tuning if necessary and improve FOC or arrow flight.
The brass inserts will screw into the bottom of your normal aluminum insert and yeah theyll typically come in 25gr, 50gr and 75gr

For trad bows and stump shooting the brass inserts add more strength over the cheap aluminum ones that come with arrows.

Same here...

My total weight of my hunting arrow is 462 grains with broadhead. My F.O.C is 9.5%. Setup flies well. Is 9.5% too light? Hunt elk only.

to light to kill an elk? No. I really think the sweet spot for most of my set ups is about 12-16%. I shoot a lighter arrow shaft like an Eason sonic and shoot 50 grain brass insert with a 125 grain head.
