You can find as light as 100 grains, but if you're a fur keeper, the 120s are probably a better bet than the 100s or even the 115 HP.

Any 120 softpoint is more than enough, and there's plenty of load data for them. I wouldn't run them at full throttle if you're looking to minimize pelt damage, either. Shots at called 'yotes very often are inside 200 yards, so you don't need banjo-string trajectory.
