I've got another mold I might try...
I had the same choice a couple years back. I have the same HP Keith mold as well as a 195gr NEI gas checked swc. I did the old soft nose trick by melting a .31 cal round ball in the mold and then filling it with wheel weight metal in the rear. I shot two deer with them two years ago. First was a decent sized buck that I spine shot, so I never found that bullet the other deer was a yearling doe that took off at the first shot. I out three more into her as she ran away (it was getting dark and she was heading towards the property line). All bullets exited the little girl, but seemed to do the job pretty well.
