325-350 grains. 5 grains of arrow weight for every pound of draw weight. Arrow length has nothing to do with grains. Length is for figuring spine.

65# x 5 grains = 325 grains
70# x 5 grains = 350 grains

Arrow length has a little bit to do with arrow weight - at 9 grains per inch, a 2" shorter arrow is 18 grains lighter.
