130 grain Grizzly with a 75 grain steel adapter would put you right in there.

Zwickey no-mercy, 125 glue on with 75 grain or 100 grain insert would be perfect, and I found them easy to sharpen.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Or the 160s with a 34 grain aluminum insert.  The 160 heads would be a little stouter if the aluminum adapter held up.  Or get the 200 grain Kodiak if you can stand the width and length.

I'm in the same spot right now, can't decide which option to go with.

As far as true screw-ins go, the Steel Force Premium 225gr worked great on two 100-150# South Texas pigs out of my 45@28 Dakota.  Very thick/strong blades and very sharp out of the package.  Muzzy Phantom SS are 200 with the bleeder blade removed, but I can't recommend them for game because I've only target shot with them.

Personally, I have opted for glue-ons with screw-in adapters due to the optionality - you can adjust the weights and you can use them with wood arrows if you ever decide to go that direction.

...not to mention glue-ons plus adapters are generally half the price of a well constructed screw on.

I have the tusker concords from braveheart archery.  They are 250 grain screw in, but I bet they get down around 230 after you grind down the edge to your desired angle.  Plus they are pretty cheap at just over $20 shipped.  A pain to get the bevel set unless you have a grinder or wheel.  I just use a file until I form a burr.

A combined effort between Braveheart for Tusker Concords and Mike over at KME got me a set of flying steak knives that weighed in at 211gr.  

Worth.  Every.  Penny.  

Great heads, ridiculously sharp, tough as nails, and the extra 11grs was nothing in the grand scheme of things.

My vote is for the 225 grain Tuffheads. Absolutely the strongest broadhead made, without a doubt!

I have to agree with Bill. Tuffhead gets my vote! Also super sharp right out of the package.

There is also the outback supreme FE broadhead, (220 grain screw in, single bevel) made here in Australia. Not too sure if there is anyone who carries them in the US.

Abowyer has several models you may like with varying weights available as well as broadhead width. They are one of the sponsors on this site.
