245 gr powerbelt
Has anyone shot an animal with the 245 gr powerbelts. I shot them along with 100 gr of pyrodex powder pellets and they performed well at the range. I was wondering how good the killing power is, if anyone has any experience.
Thanks
Thanks

RE: 245 gr powerbelt
My son and I will also be trying the 245 gr Powerbelts this Saturday. I will admit that I'm a little concerned about performance on deer after reading some of the discussions. I will be using 90 gr. Prodex RS Select, and I think my son will be using 100 Gr. pellets. They punch holes in paper good out to 100 yd, but deer aren't made of paper. We are still experimenting with other bullets in case we don't have good performance from the powerbelts. Might try their 295 all lead ones.

RE: 245 gr powerbelt
I shot my first deer with a muzzleloader this this year using the 295gr. Aerotip Powerbelts and i was amazed at how these bullets perform. using 90grs. of triple 7 i shot a doe at 70 yds and she didnt move a step from where i shot her!
