Rick, I would avoid any JHP load because you simply will not get enough penetration with them. I don't know if there are any factory Jacketed Soft Point loads (from your post I assume you use factory ammo).

You're kind of stuck with factory stuff, though. The cowboy loads and the regular Rem and WW stuff is pretty mild, and loaded with very soft lead besides.

At the other end of the spectrum are the hunting loads by Cor-Bon, Buffalo Bullets and others. Those are all hell for stout and loaded to the max. There simply isn't much in between.

The best route would be to get some reloading friend to brew you up some decent loads with hard cast SWC lead bullets, running at about 900 fps. Those wouldn't over-penetrate but would do the job nicely.
