Any of those Lee Molds around 250 to 300grains with the big meplats will be pretty intense on an animal. Maybe to intense!

If you don't need a gas-check, and don't mind trying a 260grainer, get this Lee mold and I'll buy a bunch of pure lead ones from you. The pictured slug isn't the right one. Look at the mold and it's different than the picture. I also included a picture I took of what the slug really looks like.
