Yes, I calculate 261 grains as well.
However, it will make very little difference.
The arrow mass is used to calculate the aerodynamic drag, and a small difference in that will make almost no difference to the settings (you would not be able to detect it). It would certainly be close enough for me.
If you do want to get it exact, simply change the point weight.
I will, however, check to make sure all the data in the program is correct.
